Abstract

See full text

A method for preparing a film of aligned rod-like nanostructures or nanotubes comprises preparing a solution that comprises rod-like nanostructures or nanotubes, wherein the rod-like nanostructures or the nanotubes are well-dispersed, and performing vacuum filtration of the solution through a filtration membrane, wherein the vacuum filtration produces a film on the filtration membrane where the rod-like nanostructures or the nanotubes are aligned. The well-dispersed individual rod-like nanostructures or nanotubes may be separately suspended in the solution. The concentration of rod-like nanostructures or nanotubes may be below a threshold value and/or the filtration speed may be as slow as possible. Where a surfactant is utilized to aid dispersion, the surfactant concentration may be below a critical micelle concentration (CMC).
