New strategies are needed for the industrial fabrication of carbon nanotube thin films. Carbon nanotube deposition from both water and organic solvents can be achieved using directed self-assembly mediated by side-chain modified polymers. Very high density films of carbon nanotubes can be deposited this way, with very high selectivity for desired surfaces.
