Abstract.

The status of synchrotron radiation (SR) microdiffraction techniques developed at the ID13 beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is reviewed for polymer and biopolymer fiber applications. Beam sizes in the micrometer-range have been used to study the local structure of whole fibers such as viscose-rayon or poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide). The possibilities for in situ studies during stretching, extrusion, or indentation will be discussed.
