The insolubility of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in most common organic solvents has been the cause of a bottleneck in their practical utilization. Aqueous SWCNT inks containing amphiphilic surfactants are widely used for processing including coatings and composite fabrication. Most practical processes are, however, designed to be compatible with organic solvents, generating a technological mismatch between production and utilization. This work reports on the surfactant-assisted dispersion of SWCNTs in useful organic solvents, at up to quantitative yields. A feature extraction based on machine learning offers seemingly important, highly intuitive physicochemical factors that lead to efficient dispersion. These elucidated factors are associated not only with solvents–surfactant, but also solvent–SWCNT interactions. The organic SWCNT dispersion as well as its research methodology developed here may find widespread applications ranging from nanofluidics to functional materials design.
