Abstract
SPECPs are electrochromic polymers that contain special engineering plastic structural characteristic groups (SPECPs). Due to their high thermal stability, mechanical properties, and weather resistance, they are also known as high-performance electrochromic polymer (HPEP or HPP). Meanwhile, due to the structural characteristics of their long polymer chains, these materials have natural advantages in the application of flexible electrochromic devices. According to the structure of special engineering plastic groups, SPECPs are divided into five categories: polyamide, polyimide, polyamide imide, polyarylsulfone, and polyarylketone. This article mainly introduces the latest research on SPECPs. The structural design, electrochromic properties, and applications of these materials are also introduced in this article, and the challenges and future development trends of SPECPs are prospected.

Abstract
Amino acids play an important role in the formation of proteins, enzymes, hormones and peptides in animals. Moreover, aspartic acid and glutamic acid have a critical impact on the central nervous system as excitatory neurotransmitters. Here, we report the highly selective detection of L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) and L-aspartic acid (L-Asp) using fluorescent microparticles constructed by the combination of aggregation-induced emission and self-assembly-induced Förster resonance energy transfer.

Abstract
The stimulus-responsive smart switching of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features has attracted considerable attention in 4D information encryption, optical sensors and biological imaging. Nevertheless, for some AIE-inactive triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives, activating the fluorescence channel of TPA remains a challenge based on their intrinsic molecular configuration. Here, we took a new design strategy for opening a new fluorescence channel and enhancing AIE efficiency for (E)-1-(((4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol. The turn-on methodology employed is based on pressure induction. Combining ultrafast and Raman spectra with high-pressure in situ showed that activating the new fluorescence channel stemmed from restraining intramolecular twist rotation. Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) and intramolecular vibration were restricted, which induced an increase in AIE efficiency. This approach provides a new strategy for the development of stimulus-responsive smart-switch materials.

Abstract
In this review, recent advances that exploit the intrinsic emission of organic materials for reversibly modulating their intensity with applied potential are surveyed. Key design strategies that have been adopted during the past five years for developing such electrofluorochromic materials are presented, focusing on molecular fluorophores that are coupled with redox-active moieties, intrinsically electroactive molecular fluorophores, and unconjugated emissive organic polymers. The structural effects, main challenges, and strides toward addressing the limitations of emerging fluorescent materials that are electrochemically responsive are surveyed, along with how these can be adapted for their use in electrofluorochromic devices.

Abstract
Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) can be used to construct fluorescent probes with typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior for next-generation sensing applications. McMurry coupling and Suzuki cross coupling strategies provided the desired sensor thiophene-substituted tetraphenylethylene (THTPE). The synthesized TPE analogues were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Maximum AIE of THTPE was observed in 90% water (H2O/THF) content due to extensive formation of aggregates. The AIE properties of THTPE have been utilized for facile detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) (1.0 nM) through a fluorescence quenching mechanism. A paper strip adsorbed with the AIE-based THTPE fluorophore is developed for rapid and convenient detection of NAC-based analytes. Further, interaction of THTPE with analytes is also studied via Gaussian software at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Interaction energy, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), and non-covalent interaction (NCI) analyses are studied by using the same method. Computational results revealed that nitrobenzene (NB) has the strongest interaction while 1,3-dinitrobenzene (DNB) exhibits the least interaction with the sensor molecule. These computational results clearly demonstrate good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
A self-crosslinkable side-chain liquid crystal polysiloxane containing cyanostilbene (Si-CSM) was newly synthesized for the development of a new generation of flexible optical paints. The photoisomerization of the cyanostilbene moiety at the molecular level was transferred and amplified to the phase transition of Si-CSM, resulting in changes in the macroscopic optical properties of the Si-CSM thin film. The self-crosslinking reaction between Si-H groups in the Si-CSM polymer backbone caused the self-crosslinked Si-CSM thin film to be very elastic and both thermally and chemically stable. Therefore, the self-crosslinked Si-CSM thin film endured stretching and bending deformations under relatively harsh conditions. In addition, the uniaxially oriented and self-crosslinked Si-CSM thin film generated linearly polarized light emission. Polarization-dependent and photopatternable secret coatings were fabricated via a spontaneous self-crosslinking reaction after coating the Si-CSM paint and irradiating ultraviolet (UV) light through a photomask. This newly developed flexible optical Si-CSM paint can be applied in next-generation optical coatings.

Abstract
With the advent of the big data era, information storage and security are becoming increasingly important. However, high capacity information storage and multilevel anti-counterfeiting are typically difficult to achieve simultaneously. To address this challenge, herein, two electrochromic and electrofluorochromic dual-functional polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics were rationally designed and facilely prepared. Upon applying voltages, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the AIE polymers can undergo reversible changes, accompanied by variation of their color and emission. By utilizing the controllable characteristics of the polymers, dual-mode display devices were fabricated via a simple spraying technique. More interestingly, a four-dimensional color code device was constructed by adding color change multiplexing to the two-dimensional space, thereby achieving high capacity information storage. Moreover, the color code device can also be applied in the multilevel anti-counterfeiting area. The encrypted information can be dynamically converted under different voltages. Thus, the AIE polymers show great promise for applications in multidimensional information storage and dynamic anti-counterfeiting, and the design strategy may provide a new avenue for advanced information storage and high security technology.

Abstract
Functional polymer systems with stimuli responses have attracted great attention over the years due to their diverse range of applications. Such polymers are capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties, such as chemical structures, chain conformation, solubility, shape, morphologies, and optical properties, in response to single or multiple stimuli. Among various stimuli-responsive polymers, those with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties possess the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, large contrast, excellent photostability, and low background noise. The changes in fluorescence signal can be conveniently detected and monitored using portable instruments. The integration of AIE and stimuli responses into one polymer system provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with high sensitivity to environmental variations. Here, we review the recent advances in the design, preparation, performance, and applications of functional synthetic polymer systems with AIE and stimuli responses. Various AIE-based polymer systems with responsiveness toward single physical or chemical stimuli as well as multiple stimuli are summarized with specific examples. The current challenges and perspectives on the future development of this research area will also be discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
In this work, a series of fluorescent cathodically coloring electrochromic (EC) small molecules o-, m-, and p-DBFDCz with 3,5-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene (DCz) linked to dibenzofuran (DBF) at different substitutional positions were synthesized and fully characterized. These compounds are electroactive and undergo quasi-reversible two-step single-electron reduction generating radical anions and dianions. The absorptions of o-, m-, and p-DBFDCz in the neutral states lie in the UV region (λonset ≈ 350 nm), showing high transparency, while the absorption of their reduced states can be largely tuned across the visible region through driving voltage and substitutional positions. Initially generated spectroelectrochemically radical anions show absorption in the short-wavelength region of ∼380-500 nm with weak broad absorptions at longer wavelengths. On further reduction, these bands disappear on the cost of growing intense bands from dianions at longer wavelengths of 500-700 nm with some tail absorptions in the shorter-wavelength region. This renders the colors of the EC devices based on these materials, which are changed from green to red, yellow to magenta, and light to deep blue for o-, m-, and p-DBFDCz, respectively, covering four legs of the L*a*b* color space. Besides excellent optical contrast (>90%) and high coloration efficiency (up to 504 cm2 C-1), the fluorescence observed in solution of neutral o-, m-, and p-DBFDCz can be modulated between the fluorescence and quenched states by direct electrochemical redox reactions. Both EC and electrofluorochromic (EFC) processes are reversible on cycling. This research demonstrates the feasibility of developing multifunctional EC/EFC materials with multicolored electrochromism through exploiting electrochemical properties of traditional fluorescent small molecules.

Three-component conjugated polymers of a strong donor-acceptor (D-A) type could be synthesized by Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling polymerization reaction of 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)-1,2-diphenylethene (M-1) with 9-octyl-3,6-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-9H-carbazole (M-2) and 4,6-bis((E)-4-bromostyryl)-2,2-difluoro-5-phenyl-2H-1l3,3,2l4-dioxaborinine (M-3). Among them, P-1 and P-2 with high TPE ratios at 0.95 and 0.9 showed obvious aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior; in contrast P-3 with a low TPE ratio at 0.8 showed an aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) phenomenon. In particular, the three resulting polymer dots (P-1 to P-3 Pdots) exhibited a 200 mV lower electrochemiluminescence (ECL) potential due to their strong D-A electronic structure. Most importantly, the ECL signals of Pdots could be enhanced as high as 3 times by increasing their AIE-active TPE moiety ratios from 0.8 (P-3) to 0.95 (P-1) via the band gap emission process. Herein, P-1 Pdots with the strongest ECL signal were successfully used as ECL biosensors for the detection of catechol, epinephrine and dopamine with detection limits of 1, 7 and 3 nM, respectively. This work provides a new strategy for developing highly sensitive ECL biosensors by the smart structure design of the AIE-active Pdots.

Abstract
Electrochromic (EC)/electrofluorochromic (EFC) bifunctional materials are receiving great attention because of their promising applications in optoelectronic devices. However, the development of ideal EC/EFC bifunctional materials is still a great challenge because of the poor integration of EC/EFC performances (optical contrast, response speed, and switching stability). Herein, we reported two novel diphenylamine-based mixed valence (MV) polyamides (S-HPA and P-HPA) with spirobifluorene (2,7-positions) and pyrene (1,6-positions) as bridged fluorescence units, respectively, showing impressive cyclability and fluorescence contrast with rapid switching. Through the formation of an effective electronic coupling between the two nitrogen centers using spirobifluorene/pyrene bridges, we demonstrated that different bridges have significant effects on the thermal and electrooptical characteristics of polyamides. In addition to lower fluorescence quantum yield and glass transition temperature, the S-HPA exhibited superior cyclability (contrast change <3.4%/14% over 500/300 cycles for EC/EFC switching), higher color/fluorescence contrast (64%/304%), and faster switching time (<2.6 s), mainly owing to the shorter conjugated length and more twisted configuration of the spirobifluorene bridge. The design principle of MV polymers with fluorophore bridges proposed here will be a promising way to realize high-performance EC/EFC devices and will also provide new insights into their future development and applications.

Abstract
A series of polyimides (PIs) were prepared by polycondensation of a diamine monomer with five anhydrides (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic anhydride (BTA), 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTD), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTD), 4-[(1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-5-isobenzofuranyl)oxy]-1,3-isobenzofurandione (DDII), and 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPTD)), which have anodic electrochromic (EC) properties. These PIs not only show good solubility and thermal stability, but also demonstrate stable electrochemical oxidation behavior and good EC properties, and the highest retained electroactivity reaches 99% after 600 cycles. In addition, the series of PIs exhibit excellent electrofluorescencechromic (EFC) properties. Therefore, the novel materials will contribute to the application of EC or EFC displays in the future.

Abstract
Although high-performance donor-acceptor (D-A)-type polymers have received much attention as an important class of electrochromic (EC) materials, the related studies have mostly focused on the influence of D and A units on the band gap, onset potential, and switching time, leaving the effect of D-A structures on cycling lifetime underexplored. Herein, we design and synthesize a series of poly(aryl amino sulfone)s (PAASs) as D-A polymers with triphenylamine-based donor units and the sulfone moiety as the acceptor unit. As a result, we present new rules to design and develop D-A structure polymers with high EC cycling stability: (1) the electron-donating and -withdrawing abilities of the donor and acceptor should be balanced during the electrochemical cycle process, and this balance can be measured by the ratio of Jred/Jox; (2) the D-A structure should benefit to generate lower Eonset. By these design rules, the best-performing polymer PAAS-TPPA-OMe exhibits an excellent long-term cycling stability (over 3,900 cycles), low onset potential (0.26 V), fast switching time (6.0/4.3 s for the EC process), high contrast (87% at 688 nm and 94% at 928 nm), and high coloration efficiency (500 cm2 C-1 at 688 nm and 1131 cm2 C-1 at 928 nm).

Abstract
To disclose the effect of architecture over fluorescence behaviors of polymers, linear and hyperbranched poly(4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl methacrylate)s (PCPMAs) were synthesized by using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Compared to linear PCPMAs with weakly AIE (AIE: aggregation-induced-emission) characteristics and small-molecule analogues of 4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl isobutyrate (CPB) with ACQ (ACQ: aggregation-caused-quenching) behaviors, hyperbranched PCPMA showed dramatically stronger fluorescence at both solution and solid states and more significant AIE characteristics, which were further enhanced by increasing the branching degree, indicating a significant hyperbranching-enhanced-emission effect (HEE). The HEE effect was attributed to the strong promotion of hyperbranched architecture over the formation of a nitrile group cluster with through-space conjugation (TSC). The HEE effect provided a promising methodology to construct efficient nontraditional fluorescent polymers without large-conjugated, rigid, and planar emitter groups.
