    Abstract Image

    Oriented SWNTs in polymer composites have shown dramatic improvements in the physical properties of a composite because of the anisotropic shape and properties of SWNTs. Controlled alignment of SWNTs during composite fabrication implies better material function performance. This letter reports a new fabrication technique whereby aligned SWNTs and robust SWNT−polymer composites can be made using a fusion method of SWNT combing and layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. As we previously reported, LBL assembly demonstrated exceptional processing ability in constructing the uniform distribution of a SWNT−polymer composite. Combined with this uniformity, this SWNT combing technique endows controlled alignment of single-stranded SWNTs in a SWNT−polymer composite system. SWNT combing employs air−water interfacial forces to change the molecular topography from the random adsorption state to the stretched alignment of SWNTs. More specifically, air−water interfacial forces are associated with an excess viscous drag force and an intrinsic dewetting rate along SWNTs. Moreover, the alignment efficiency of SWNTs is high enough to construct a multilayered LBL film with horizontal−linear weaving structures. This simple method also can be applied for aligning other nanowire materials because it utilizes simple geometric features of SWNTs.
