A tough non‐woven material of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with an area of up to several tens of square centimeters (see Figure) has been prepared by a direct‐floating chemical vapor deposition method followed by purification. The SWNT non‐woven material exhibits an extremely high Young's modulus of ca. 0.4–0.7 TPa, so it has potential applications in mechanical reinforcement of composite materials.
