Abstract
Various examples are provided related to electrical planarization of carbon nanotube thin films or networks. In one example, a method includes depositing one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer across a nanotube film; disrupting electrical conductance of portions of the nanotube film by exposure of out-of-plane nanotubes to a planarization process that disrupts the electrical conductance through the one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer; and removing the one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer from the nanotube film.
