硼酸铝晶须因其熔点高、强度接近完美晶体、耐磨、耐高温、耐腐蚀、电绝缘性好、价格相对低廉等优点，被作为增强体广泛应用于高分子材料、金属材料、陶瓷、透波材料、涂料等领域。本文综述了硼酸铝晶须的性能、用途、合成机理、制备方法等国内外研究进展，以期为硼酸铝晶须的进一步研发、应用作指导。

Aluminum borate whiskers have received widespread attention because of their advantages, such as high melting point, close strength to perfect crystal, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation and relatively cheap prices, which was widely used as a reinforcement in polymer materials, metal materials, ceramics, wave transmitting materials, coatings and other fields. The paper summarized the domestic and foreign research advances in aluminum borate whiskers in terms of properties, applications, synthesis mechanisms, preparation methods, etc., and provided guidance for the further preparation and application of the aluminum borate whiskers.<收稿日期
