Synchrotron radiation technology, as an indispensable tool in the field of fiber characterization for microstructure analysis, can obtain in-situ and non-destructive microstructure information through high-resolution imaging and three-dimensional structure analysis. However, it still faces many challenges. This paper presents a review of the application of synchrotron radiation technology in fibers and systematically introduces its classification. Based on the energy spectrum, synchrotron radiation X-rays are categorized into soft X-rays, medium-energy X-rays and hard X-rays, and elaborates on their characteristics, techniques and applications in fiber research. Furthermore, synchrotron radiation characterization techniques are classified into X-ray scattering techniques, X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy techniques and imaging techniques. This paper summarizes the technical characteristics, scope of application, and advantages of synchrotron radiation in unveiling the structural properties and evolution mechanisms of fiber materials, and offers a perspective on the developmental trends and potential of synchrotron radiation, providing insights for future research and technological advancements.
