A simple process was developed for increasing the semiconducting component of singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with narrowed diameter distribution through directly eliminating metallic SWCNTs and semiconducting SWCNTs (s-SWCNTs) with smaller diameters in transparent conducting films of SWCNTs.

β¦ Synopsis
A predominantly semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube-based thin conductive film was fabricated on a flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate. The structural features of the nanotubes and careful experimental scrutinization consistently yielded the films with very low surface resistance (59 X sq Γ1 ) and high transparency (80%). The morphological studies of these films before and after acid treatment revealed the self orientation of nanotubes clustered at favorable centers.

## Abstract Transparent and electrically conducting films were fabricated using a novel and simple method in which singleβwalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) adsorbed onto bacterial cellulose membranes were embedded into a transparent polymer resin. The bacterial cellulose membranes consisting of nume
This study evaluates the effect of anionic and cationic surfactants on the dispersion of purified SWCNTs in water in terms of dispersibility and on electrical conductivity of TCFs and electronic band structures of SWCNTs. The dispersibility of surfactants in an aqueous SWCNT suspension is assessed w
