Pure macroscopic single‐walled‐carbon‐nanotube (SWNT) fibers are fabricated by using a dip‐coating method without any additive or additional electrical equipment or complex apparatus. The present method only utilizes microfluidics, which includes capillary condensation, capillary flow, and surface tension, and results in the self‐assembly and self‐alignment of SWNT colloids.
