Claim Text:
1. A method of forming a film of aligned s-SWCNTs on a substrate, the method comprising: (a) partially submerging a hydrophobic substrate in an aqueous medium; (b) applying a dose of a liquid solution to the aqueous medium, the liquid solution comprising semiconductor-selective-polymer-wrapped s-SWCNTs dispersed in an organic solvent, whereby the liquid solution spreads into a layer on the aqueous medium at an air-liquid interface and semiconductor-selective-polymer-wrapped s-SWCNTs from the layer are deposited as a stripe of aligned semiconductor-selective-polymer-wrapped s-SWCNTs on the hydrophobic substrate; and (c) at least partially withdrawing the hydrophobic substrate, upon which the stripe of aligned semiconductor-selective-polymer-wrapped s-SWCNTs has been deposited, from the aqueous medium.
