Abstract
This guide provides a detailed step-by-step procedure for the dispersion of (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes by shear force mixing with the conjugated polymer PFO-BPy in organic solvents. All processes presented here were developed in the Zaumseil group at Heidelberg University since 2015 and represent best practices to the best of our knowledge. In addition to the detailed instructions, we discuss potential pitfalls and problems, that we have encountered over eight years of operation and show how to solve them. This also includes a detailed description of how to maintain and service a shear force mixer to ensure long operation lifetime. Finally, we show how to expand our process to the dispersion other nanotube chiralities in electronic-grade quality and how to treat dispersions for subsequent processing (e.g., thin film deposition or functionalization).
