Description

Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) is a novel photophysicalphenomenon which offers a new platform APPLICATIONS for researchersto look into the light-emitting processes from luminogenaggregates, from which useful information onstructure–property relationships may be collected andmechanistic insights may be gained. The discovery of the AIE effectopens a new avenue for the development of new luminogen materialsin the aggregate or solid state. By enabling light emission in thepractically useful solid state, AIE has the potential tosignificantly expand the technological applications of luminescentmaterials. Aggregation-Induced Emission: Applications is the firstbook to explore the high-tech applications of AIE luminogens, including technological utilizations of AIEmaterials in the areas of electroluminescence, mechanochromism,chiral recognition, ionic sensing, biomolecule detection, and cellimaging. Potential applications in room temperaturephosphorescence, liquid crystals, circularly polarizedluminescence, and organic lasing are also introduced in thisvolume. Topics covered include: AIE materials for electroluminescenceapplications Liquid crystals with AIE characteristics Mechanochromic AIE materials Chiral recognition and enantiomericdifferentiation based on AIE AIE and applications of aryl-substituted pyrrolederivatives New chemo-/biosensors with AIE-activemolecules AIE luminogens for in vivo functionalbioimaging Applications of AIE materials in biotechnology This book is essential reading for scientists and engineers who aredesigning optoelectronic materials and biomedical sensors, and willalso be of interest to academic researchers in materials science,physical and synthetic organic chemistry as well as physicists andbiological chemists.
