(6,5) SWNTs were printed under identical conditions. Toluene and terpineol
(mixture of isomers, Sigma-Aldrich) were added to the dispersion to
adjust the SWNT concentration to 5.4 mg L–1 (E11 absorbance of 3 cm–1) and
the terpineol concentration to 2 vol-%. This ink was used for aerosol
jet printing (Aerosol Jet 200 printer, Optomec) with an ultrasonic
atomizer.63 (link),64 (link) A 200 μm inner diameter nozzle was
used at a sheath gas flow of 30 sccm and carrier gas flow of 25 sccm.
The film thickness was tuned by the number of printing cycles. The
sample stage was at 100 °C to facilitate fast evaporation of
Toluene. Residual terpineol was rinsed off with tetrahydrofuran and
isopropyl alcohol.
