Schunk materials are also increasing in importance in the production of mirrors and mirror support structures. This applies in particular to the field of ultra-light optomechanical systems. Schunk materials are distinguished by their enormous rigidity in applications in environments where extremely high demands must be met (space). Schunk C/SiC materials and coatings have already been used in the production of ultra-light mirror/support structures utilised in space conditions.
