Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE): A Practical Guide

Introduces readers to the topic, guiding them through fundamental concepts and the latest advances in applications. The book covers concepts, principles, and working mechanisms of AIE in AIE-active luminogens, with different classes of AIE luminogens reviewed, including polymers, three-dimensional frameworks (MOFs and COFs), and supramolecular gels.

Special focus is given to the structure-property relationship, structural design strategies, targeted properties, and application performance. The book provides readers with a deep understanding, not only on the fundamental principles of AIE, but more importantly, on how AIE luminogens and AIE properties can be incorporated in material development.
