Carbon nanotubes seem to be one of the most attractive materials because of their one-dimensional fascinating features with exceptional mechanical and unique electrical properties. For further exploiting their various properties and applications, it is imperative to produce uniform carbon nanotubes with well-defined and controllable reproducibility of their properties. A review is presented the recent results addressing rational and efficient methods to process orientational arrays of the carbon nanotubes, especially concerning the post-growth in-plane alignment.
