Carbon nanotube films possess enormous potential for a variety of applications. The major limitations at present are associated with heterogeneity of as-synthesized nanotubes and with difficulties in separating CNTs with semiconducting and metallic characteristics. If this problem will be solved in...

More recent results on CNTs were much more promising [227,228]. Two types of CNT thin films were tested functionalized P3-single walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and raw (non-functionalized) SWNTs. Both films provided excellent actuation characteristics (on par with carbon grease), had a negligible influence on mechanical properties of the film, and remained stable over longer periods of time. In addition, the carbon nanotube films could be made thin enough to remain optically transparent for use as transparent compliant electrodes [229].
