Abstract	In this work, we probed the effects of shear flow on the alignment of dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes in polymer solutions. Two different systems were compared: Single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed using an anionic surfactant and single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed using an anionic surfactant and a weakly binding polymer. It was determined that the addition of the weakly binding polymer increased the degree of dispersion of the carbon nanotubes and the ability to induce their alignment when subjected to shear forces.
