title: Ionic self-assembly provides dense arrays of individualized, aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes.
abstract: Wrap and stack: Polyanionic [arylene]ethynylene polymers that helically wrap single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) enable the production of functionalized SWNTs that are soluble in organic solvents. These SWNTs can assemble into structures featuring aligned nanotubes that maintain the optoelectronic properties of individual SWNTs.
