COMPOSITE ELEMENT COMPRISING A SILICA- AND CARBON NANOTUBE-BASED BIPHASIC MATERIAL

The invention relates to a composite material comprising at least one polymer matrix. Said polymer matrix comprises at least one inorganic filler composed of a biphasic material which comprises at least one mesoporous substrate at least partially covered with carbon nanotubes. The composite material is remarkable in that said mesoporous substrate is composed of diatoms.
