Additional Notes
• Finished thin-films should contain less than ~0.5% surfactant by mass.
• Approximately 30 µg of NanoIntegris CNTs is required to uniformly coat an area of ~200 mm2 at
~80% visible transmittance.
1. Dilute NanoIntegris CNT solution to ~1-10 µg/mL using a combination of water and 1% w/v sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
2. Using a vacuum or pressure filtration apparatus, pass the diluted NanoIntegris CNT solution through
an MCE filter. A thin-film of nanotubes will accumulate on the filter's surface. (Surfactant and water
will pass through the filter; nanotubes will not.)
3. Once the desired volume of CNT solution has been filtered, allow the resulting CNT film to set for
approximately 15 minutes.
4. Gently rinse the film with ~1 mL of 2-propanol.
5. Gently rinse the film with ~30 mL of water.
6. Allow the film to set again for approximately 15 minutes.
