For MWCNTs [multiwalled carbon nanotubes], the number of walls (n) was limited to 2 and 3 for a double-wall carbon nanotube (DWCNT) and a triple-wall carbon nanotube (TWCNT) to reduce the computational cost. 1, record 1, English, - triple%2Dwall%20carbon%20nanotube

nanotube à triple paroi; nanotube à triple feuillet : Lorsqu'il s'agit de nanotubes de carbone, il serait préférable de le préciser en utilisant un terme comme «nanotube de carbone à triple paroi». 1, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20triple%20paroi
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les termes tels que «nanotube simple paroi», «nanotube double paroi» et «nanotube triple paroi» s'écrivent sans trait d'union entre «simple», «double» ou «triple» et «paroi». Au pluriel, on écrirait «nanotubes simple paroi», «nanotubes double paroi» et «nanotubes triple paroi» («simple paroi», «double paroi» et «triple paroi» demeurent invariables). Par contre, les adjectifs tels que «monoparoi», «monofeuillet», «biparoi», «bifeuillet», «triparoi», «trifeuillet», «multiparoi» et «multifeuillet» s'accordent en nombre avec le nom qu'ils qualifient. On écrirait donc «un nanotube triparoi» et «des nanotubes triparois». Ces adjectifs s'écrivent sans trait d'union. 1, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20triple%20paroi
