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. Provides the fundamental principles, design and synthesis strategies of aggregation induced emission materials Reviews the most relevant applications in materials design for stimuli-responsive materials, biomedical applications, chemo-sensing and optoelectronics Emphasizes structural design and its connection to aggregation induced emission properties, also exploring the structure-property relationship Contents Contributors Preface 1.
