Customized polyglycerol‐based surfactants incorporating different aromatic cores are used to isolate and suspend carbon nanotubes in water. Different cores yield suspension with distinct chiral species distribution. Increasing the number of the phenyl rings connecting head and tail, the dispersion of the semiconducting species becomes sharper toward the nanotubes with bigger family index.
