1. A method for arranging nanotube elements within a nanotube fabric, comprising:

  • providing a plurality of nanotube elements over a material layer, to obtain a substantially dry fully formed, fixed nanotube fabric comprising a plurality of nanotube elements in a first operation, wherein said nanotube fabric is substantially free of any suspension medium; and

    translating a directional force across at least a portion of said substantially dry fully formed, fixed nanotube fabric in a second operation to arrange at least a portion of said nanotube elements within said nanotube fabric into an ordered network;

    wherein said second operation is performed subsequent to said first operation.
