The effect of chemical solutions on the dispersion of single-walled carbon nantubes (SWCNTs) was studied. The SWCNTs were dispersed using several chemical solutions such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), dichloromethane (DCM), acetone and triton X-100 (Triton-X) under ultrasonically process. The results show that the types of chemical solutions greatly affect the dispersion of SWCNTs. The IPA solution is found to be the best solution to disperse SWCNTs using ultrasonication process due to the difficultly of evaporation in room temperature to get a transparent solution.
