Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) prepared by present methods are a mixture of semiconducting and metallic ones, which need to be separated and purified to give them full play with their excellent properties and for their attractive applications. Among numerous developed methods, the selective separation of semiconducting and metallic SWNTs by polymer non-covalent interactions is considered to be the most simple, efficient and no-damage to carbon nanotube structure and properties method. So far, a lot of works have been reported, and many polymer systems have been developed. Meanwhile, various separation and purification mechanisms have been proposed, but there are still no unified and convincing understandings. In this review, the reported SWNT solubilization and selective separation works are summarized, the interactions between polymer and SWNTs are analyzed, and the effects of polymer structures, molecular weights, side chain lengths, polymer/SMNT ratio, temperature, and solvent are focally discussed. After comparing various separating mechanisms, our own understandings and views are put forward.
