Title:Directed self-assembly of surfactants in carbon nanotube materials

Caption:
A micelle self-assembles at two crossing carbon nanotubes and binds them
together. This represents the first stage of a bottom-up
fabrication method to achieve mechanical stability in carbon nanotube
materials. surfactant heads (green) and tails (red), core/solvent
interface (purple).
