Abstract
Entangled polymer solutions show different rheological behavior from melts in fast extensional flow. This discrepancy is not expected according to the classic tube model and is an urgent issue to be solved in polymer physics. While in the tube model the polymer concentration is considered to be homogeneous, we show that extensional flow-induced concentration gradient may happen in polymer solutions even with chemically identical solutes and solvents. Through labeling an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe on oligomeric solvents, the flow-induced concentration gradient is visualized by combining extensional rheology and ex situ fluorescence microscopy. Microdomains of oligomeric solvents with a length scale of tens of micrometers are observed, and their influence on rheological behavior cannot be ignored.

Abstract
The local ordering of particles is considered an important process in glass transition. Ordering is usually observed in simulation and micrometer-sized colloid. However, clear information on local ordering at the molecular level is difficult to obtain experimentally. In this study, we prepared an easily glass-forming fluorophore with a color change owing to the intermolecular arrangement in the liquid, glass, and crystal states. The bathochromic shifts of the photoluminescence spectra indicated a change in the intermolecular orientation upon immediate cooling of the melt. The recovery of the spectra by successive heating indicated that rotation contributed to the change in the intermolecular orientation. The orientation in the glass was distinct from that during crystal growth, which was observed as a slow bathochromic shift by maintaining the temperature between the melting points of the blue- and green-luminescent crystals obtained from dichloromethane/ethanol and dichloromethane/hexane, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the anisotropic interaction between glass-forming luminophores is useful for uncovering molecular-level events in the glassy state.

Abstract
The photophysical behaviour of phosphorescent rigidification-induced emission (RIE) dyes is highly affected by their micro- and nanoenvironment. The lifetime measure of RIE dyes dispersed in polymers represents an effective approach to gain valuable information on polymer free volume and thus develop materials potentially able to self-monitor physical ageing and mechanical stresses.

Abstract
Concentration-dependent phase transitions in concentrated solutions have remained speculation due to the serious impediment of macromolecule dynamics by intensive topological entanglement or intermolecular interaction as well as the absence of powerful tool for detecting changes in chain or segment movement. Herein, taking a general polymer, namely, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), as an example, a water-soluble fluorescent molecule with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is introduced into the PVA solutions as a chain dynamics indicator to investigate phase transitions at high concentrations through in situ monitoring of the solvent evaporation process. Two turning points of fluorescent intensity are observed for the first time at mean concentrations of ∼25% and ∼45%, corresponding to the gelation and amorphous-to-crystalline transitions, respectively. Our work offers a fundamental insight into the physical nature of concentrate-dependent nonequilibrium transitions and develops a reliable and sensitive approach based on the AIE phenomenon for following high-concentration-triggered property changes of a polymer solution.

Abstract
Two challenges remain for organic thermoresponsive materials; one is to develop high-performance red-emissive thermoresponsive materials, while another is to simultaneously achieve high contrast ratio (CR), fast and reversible thermoresponse in a single element. Herein, we not only develop a new deep-red emissive squaraine-based AIEgen (TPE-SQ12) based on a pyrylium end group, which is suitable for fabricating high-performance thermoresponsive materials, but also show an effective approach to improve both CR (∼ten times increase) and response time (less than 3 seconds), that is, molecularly dispersing AIEgen into an elastomer, attributed to the significantly expanded free volume of elastomer upon increasing the temperature that can activate the AIEgen intramolecular movements more pronouncedly. Double encryption and temperature mapping systems have been separately established by using our designed elastomer/TPE-SQ12 film, showing the great potential for anti-counterfeiting and temperature sensing. Finally, white emission is further achieved by co-doping TPE-SQ12 with cyan dye into elastomer, which enables fluorescent thermochromism for improving the temperature mapping ability.

Abstract
The past one hundred years witness the great development of polymer science. The advancement of polymer science is closely related with the developing of characterization techniques and methods, from viscometry in molecular weight determination to advanced techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy. However, these techniques are normally constrained to tedious sample preparation, high cost, harsh experimental condition, or ex-situ characterization. Fluorescence technology has the merits of high sensitivity and direct visualization. Contrary to conventional aggregation-causing quenching fluorophores, those dyes with aggregation-induced emission characteristic show high emission efficiency in aggregate states. Based on the restriction of intramolecular motions for AIE properties, the AIE materials are very sensitive to the surrounding microenvironments owing to the twisted propeller-like structures and therefore reveal great potentials in polymer's study. The AIE concept has been successfully used in polymer's study and provides us a deeper understanding on polymer structure and properties. In this review, the applications of AIEgens in polymer science for visualizing polymerization, glass transition, dissolution, crystallization, gelation, self-assembly, phase separation, cracking and self-healing were exemplified and summarized. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives in the study of polymer science using AIEgens are addressed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
A novel synthetic strategy gives reversible cross-linked polymeric materials with tunable fluorescence properties. Dimaleimide-substituted tetraphenylethene (TPE-2MI), which is non-emissive owing to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) between maleimide (MI) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) groups, was used to cross-link random copolymers of methyl (MM), decyl (DM) or lauryl (LM) methacrylate with furfuryl methacrylate (FM). The mixture of copolymer and TPE-2MI in DMF showed reversible fluorescence with "on/off" behavior depending on the Diels-Alder (DA)/retro-DA process, which is easily adjusted by temperature. At high temperatures, the retro-DA reaction is dominant, and the fluorescence is quenched by the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. In contrast, at low temperatures, the emission recovers as the DA reaction takes over. A transparent PMFM/TPE-2MI polymer film was prepared which shows an accurate response to the external temperature and exhibited tunable fluorescent "turn on/off" behavior. These results suggest the possible application in areas including information security and transmission. An example of invisible/visible writing is given.

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
Reversible pattern systems, namely pattern memory surfaces, possessing tunable morphology play an important role in the development of smart materials; however, the construction of these surfaces is still extensively challenging because of complicated methodologies or chemical reactions. Herein, a functionalized basement is strategically integrated with a multi-responsive supramolecular network based on hydrogen bonding between aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) and copolymers containing amidogen (poly(St-co-Dm) to establish a bilayer system for near-infrared (NIR)-driven memory dual-pattern, where both the fluorescence emission and wrinkled structures can be concurrently regulated by a noninvasive NIR input. The motion of the AIEgens and photo-to-thermal expansion of the modified base allow temporal erasing of the fluorescent wrinkling patterns. Meanwhile, when exposed to 365 nm UV radiation, the fluorescent patterns can be independently regulated through photocyclization. The fluorescent wrinkling pattern presented herein is successfully demonstrated to promote the level of information security and capacity. This strategy provides a brand-new approach for the development of smart memory interfaces.

Abstract
In this work, an AIE luminogen-based hydrogel with temperature-responsive fluorescence was designed and synthesized. The polymeric hydrogel consisted of a supramolecular network through coordination and ionic interactions. When the temperature was decreased, due to the motion restriction of the polyacrylic acid macromolecular segments and the enhancement in ionic interaction, the hydrogel exhibited a blue-shift in the fluorescence emission peak and increase in the fluorescence intensity, resulting in the visualization of fluorescence changes. The hydrogel network benefitted from non-covalent crosslinking and thus possessed self-healing properties at room temperature with good toughness and resiliency. Therefore, this fluorescent supramolecular hydrogel might be used as a temperature-responsive material. A supramolecular hydrogel was synthesized by using tetra(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)ethylene (TPPE) as AIE luminogen. The gel not only featured self-healing performance, but also exhibited the temperature-responsive fluorescence with thermochromism.![]()

Abstract
Precise design of fluorescent molecules with desired properties has enabled the rapid development of many research fields. Among the different types of optically active materials, luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have attracted significant interest over the past two decades. The negligible luminescence of AIEgens as a molecular species and high brightness in aggregate states distinguish them from conventional fluorescent dyes, which has galvanized efforts to bring AIEgens to a wide array of multidisciplinary applications. Herein, the useful principles and emerging structure-property relationships for precise molecular design toward AIEgens with desirable properties using concrete examples are revealed. The cutting-edge applications of AIEgens and their excellent performance in enabling new research directions in biomedical theranostics, optoelectronic devices, stimuli-responsive smart materials, and visualization of physical processes are also highlighted.

Abstract
Every measurement technique operates on a given timescale and measurements using emissive small molecule sensors are no exception. A family of luminescent sensors providing first optical characterization of dynamic phenomena in polymers at a timescale of several microseconds is described. This performance originates from the dynamics manifested in the excited state of the sensor molecules where diffusioncontrolled events select the emission color while radiative phenomena define the global operation timescale. Since the mechanism responsible for signal generation is confined to the short lived excited state of emissive probe, it is possible observe an unprecedented link between the timescale of sensory action and that of photoluminescence. An application of this new methodology is demonstrated by performing general, short timescale detection of glass transitions in a temperature ranges precluding the informative range of conventional techniques by tens of degrees.

Abstract
Pollutant detection is of great importance for quality control of drinking water and environmental protection. The common methods of pollutant detection suffer from time-consuming procedures, bulky and expensive instruments, and complicated sample pretreatment. Herein, a type of conceptually new self-amplified fluorescent nanoparticle (SAFN) is constructed based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens for rapid and visual detection of xylene in aqueous media. AIE luminogens are self-assembled into SAFNs in aqueous media, which emit efficiently due to the aggregation of luminogen molecules. The SAFNs of AIE luminogens stick xylene molecules from aqueous media through multiple interactions including hydrophobic and π-π interactions. Upon capturing xylene, SAFNs swell, which quench the fluorescence of the whole SAFNs, showing the self-amplification effect. Such a self-amplification effect is entirely different from that of conjugated polymers in the literature. Importantly, fluorescence quenching of SAFNs by xylene can be readily observed by the naked eye, which enables visual xylene sensing. The SAFNs enable rapid and visual detection of xylene in aqueous media with a low detection limit (5 μg/L) in the order of seconds. Given high sensitivity, rapid response, simple and easy operation, and low cost, SAFNs of AIE luminogens present a promising platform for visual detection of organic pollutants in aqueous media.

Abstract
Vitrimers are one kind of covalently crosslinked polymers that can be reprocessed. Topology freezing transition temperature (Tv) is vitrimer's upper limit temperature for service and lower temperature for recycle. However, there has been no proper method to detect the intrinsic Tv till now. Even worse, current testing methods may lead to a misunderstanding of vitrimers. Here we provide a sensitive and universal method by doping or swelling aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) luminogens into vitrimers. The fluorescence of AIE-luminogens changes dramatically below and over Tv, providing an accurate method to measure Tv without the interference of external force. Moreover, according to this method, Tv is independent of catalyst loading. The opposite idea has been kept for a long time. This method not only is helpful for the practical application of vitrimers so as to reduce white wastes, but also may facilitate deep understanding of vitrimers and further development of functional polymer materials.

Abstract
A kind of self-stabilized micelles of fluorescent block copolymers are constructed for rapid and sensitive detection of aliphatic amines in water based on capture-report strategy. An amphiphilic triblock copolymer functionalized with aggregation induced emission (AIE) chromophores self assembles into micelles with core-shell structures in aqueous solution. Hydrophobic AIE chromophores organize into cores, where hydrophobic interaction among the AIE chromophores inhibits the micelles from disassembling. The cores of AIE chromophores are surrounded by a corona of water-soluble polymer segments, endowing the micelles with superior dispersibility in water. Water-soluble polymer segments capture organic amines in water due to preferential hydrophobic interactions between them. The enriched amines in the corona subsequently diffuse into hydrophobic cores of micelles, quenching fluorescence of the AIE chromophores. The fluorescent micelles allow rapid detection of aliphatic amines in the order of seconds at a concentration as low as 8 μg/L.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging techniques have attracted much attention as a powerful tool to realize the visualization of structural and morphological evolution of various materials. However, the traditional fluorescent dyes usually suffered from aggregation-caused quenching, which severely limits the visualization results. In contrast, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with high quantum yields in the condensed state showed great opportunities for imaging techniques. In this feature article, recent progresses in visualization with AIE molecules are discussed. Assembly processes including crystallization, gelation process, and dissipative assembly have been observed. To better study information obtained regarding the processes, visualization during reactions, phase transitions, and molecular motions are successfully presented. Based on these successes, AIE molecules were further applied for phase recognition, macro-dispersion evaluation, and damage detection. Finally, we also present the outlook and perspectives, in our opinion, for the development of visualization by AIE molecules.

Unusual Emission of Polystyrene-Based Alternating Copolymers Incorporating Aminobutyl Maleimide Fluorophore-Containing Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Nanoparticles. Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9030103. [PMID: 30970783 PMCID: PMC6432138 DOI: 10.3390/polym9030103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2016] [Revised: 03/08/2017] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized an unusual 2-aminobutyl maleimide isobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (MIPOSS-NHBu) monomer lacking conventional fluorescent groups. We then prepared poly(styrene-alt-2-aminobutyl maleimide isobutyl POSS) [poly(S-alt-MIPOSS-NHBu)] and poly(4-acetoxystyrene-alt-2-aminobutyl maleimide isobutyl POSS) [poly(AS-alt-MIPOSS-NHBu)] copolymers through facile free radical copolymerizations using azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator and tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. A poly(4-hydroxystyrene-alt-2-aminobutyl maleimide isobutyl POSS) [poly(HS-alt-MIPOSS-NHBu)] copolymer was prepared through acetoxyl hydrazinolysis of poly(AS-alt-MIPOSS-NHBu). We employed 1H, 13C, and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; differential scanning calorimetry; and photoluminescence spectroscopy to investigate the structures and the thermal and optical properties of the monomers and novel POSS-containing alternating copolymers. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amino and dihydrofuran-2,5-dione group and clustering of the locked C=O groups from the POSS nanoparticles in the MIPOSS-NHBu units restricted the intramolecular motion of the polymer chain, causing it to exhibit strong light emission. As a result, the MIPOSS-NHBu monomer and the poly(AS-alt-MIPOSS-NHBu) copolymer both have potential applicability in the detection of metal ions with good selectivity.

Abstract
Polysiloxane-modified tetraphenylethene (PTPESi) is successfully synthesized by attaching tetraphenylethene (TPE) units onto methylvinyldiethoxylsiloxane and subsequent polycondensation. Introducing polysiloxane into TPE has minimal effect on the photophysical properties and aggregation-induced emission behavior of TPE. The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energy levels of PTPESi are located mainly on the tetraphenylethene moieties. The fluorescence intensity and the half width of the emission peak of PTPESi before and after annealing at 120 °C for 12 h are nearly the same, indicating high thermal stability and morphological stability. In addition, use of PTPESi film as a sensor toward the vapor-phase detection of explosives is also studied and it displays quite high fluorescence quenching efficiency and good reversibility.

Abstract
In this paper, a facile approach for the synthesis of stimuli-responsive fluorescent elastomer was developed. The photoluminescence should partly be attributed to the hampered intramolecular rotation of the aryl rotors of the dye molecules by wrapping and coiling of the flexible polymer chains. In addition, the reversibility of this responsiveness was also confirmed.
