In this study, aqueous carbon nanotube (CNT) suspensions were prepared using biological surfactant of sodium deoxycholate (NaDC). The influence of NaDC concentration on the NaDC self-association in water and the rheological responses of the NaDC-CNT-water system were investigated. It has been found that the yield stress of the suspension increased with NaDC concentration, which was strongly related to the NaDC self-association of lyotropic liquid crystals. Due to the enhanced rheological properties at high NaDC concentration (30%), it allowed the shear-induced filament formation in which the CNTs were aligned along to the shear direction. This filament formation may be attractive for transferring aligned CNTs on substrates in a controlled manner.
