Processes for selectively dispersing semi-conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (sc-SWCNTs) in a solvent. One process comprises adding an amine either: to a conjugated polymer extraction process (CPE) of the sc-SWCNTs; or after the CPE of the sc-SWCNTs, in which the amine partially displaces the conjugate polymer associated with the sc-SWNTs dispersed in the solvent. Another process comprises adding an amine either: to a conjugated polymer extraction process (CPE) of the sc-SWCNTs; or after the CPE of the sc-SWCNTs, with the proviso that the amine excludes EDTA. Also, a process for displacement of a conjugated polymer from the surface of semi-conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (sc-SWCNTs) dispersed in a solvent, which comprises adding an amine either: to a conjugated polymer extraction process (CPE) of the sc-SWCNTs; or after the CPE of the sc-SWCNTs.

A method of forming transparent electrodes using printable conductive ink containing conductive materials dispersed in a viscous liquid which upon printing and thermal treatment will vaporise fully leaving behind the conductive material only. The viscous liquid acts as a medium by which conductive material dispersions are made processable for use in various printing techniques, allowing conductive patterns to be printed onto substrates (e.g. plastics, glass, metals, ceramics).
