an up-to-date comprehensive overview of current research progress in the field of EPD of CNTs. The paper specifically reviews the

preparation and characterisation of stable CNT suspensions, and the mechanism of the EPD process; it includes discussion of pure

CNT coatings and CNT/nanoparticle composite films. A complete discussion of the EPD parameters is presented, including electrode

materials, deposition time, electrode separation, deposition voltage and resultant electric field. The paper highlights potential applica-

tions of the resulting CNT and CNT/composite structures, in areas such as field emission devices, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.
