A carbon nanotube composed of nested, concentric or near-concentric graphene sheets with interlayer distances similar to those of graphite. 3, record 1, English, - multiwalled%20carbon%20nanotube
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Carbon nanotubes are wires of pure carbon with nanometer diameters and lengths of many microns. A single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) may be thought of as a single atomic layer thick sheet of graphite (called graphene) rolled into a seamless cylinder. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) consist of several concentric nanotube shells. 5, record 1, English, - multiwalled%20carbon%20nanotube
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The structure is normally considered to be many single-wall carbon nanotubes nesting each other, and would be cylindrical for small diameters but tends to have a polygonal cross-section as the diameter increases. 3, record 1, English, - multiwalled%20carbon%20nanotube
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
multi-walled carbon nanotube; multi-wall carbon nanotube: Most words beginning with the prefix "multi-" are written as one word (i.e. not hyphenated.) 2, record 1, English, - multiwalled%20carbon%20nanotube

multiwalled nanotube; multiwall nanotube; multi-walled nanotube; multi-wall nanotube; MWNT: These variants are used as synonyms, but one should keep in mind that nanotubes are not always carbon-based. If indeed speaking of carbon-based nanotubes, it would be preferable to include "carbon" in the term or the letter "C" in the abbreviation. 2, record 1, English, - multiwalled%20carbon%20nanotube

Nanotube de carbone composé de feuillets/couches de graphène concentriques ou quasi concentriques s'enroulant les uns/unes autour des autres, et ayant des distances intercouches similaires à celles du graphite. 2, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20multiparoi
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La structure est généralement considérée comme étant constituée de plusieurs nanotubes de carbone simple paroi enroulés les uns autour des autres, et serait cylindrique pour de petits diamètres, mais, au fur et à mesure que le diamètre augmente, la section transversale tend vers une forme polygonale. 2, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20multiparoi
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
nanotube de carbone multi-parois : L'usage est de souder (coller) le préfixe «multi-» au mot qui suit. Accord en nombre : La tendance générale est de donner le singulier sans marque du pluriel, et le pluriel avec la marque du pluriel. On recommande donc «un nanotube multiparoi» et «des nanotubes multiparois» plutôt que «nanotube de carbone multi-parois». 6, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20multiparoi

nanotube multiparoi; nanotube multifeuillet : On voit ces variantes utilisées comme synonymes. Dans ces cas, on sous-entend qu'il s'agit de nanotubes de carbone, probablement parce que ce type de nanotubes est, pour le moment (2013), le plus fréquemment étudié et utilisé. Cela dit, il est préférable de préciser que le nanotube est à base de carbone, car ce n'est pas toujours le cas. Les nanotubes multifeuillets de nitrure de bore, par exemple, ne sont pas à base de carbone. 6, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20multiparoi
