Abstract
Supramolecular polymers are typical self-assemblies, in which repeating monomer units are bonded together with dynamic and reversible noncovalent interactions. Supramolecular polymers can combine the advantages of polymer science and supramolecular chemistry. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) means that a molecule remains faintly emissive in the dispersed state but intensively luminescent in a highly aggregated state. AIE has brought new opportunities and further development potential to the field of polymeric chemistry. The integration of AIE luminogens with supramolecular interactions can provide new vitality for supramolecular polymers. Therefore, it is essential for scientists to understand the preparation and applications of AIE-active supramolecular polymers. This review focuses on the recent advanced progress in the preparation of AIE-active supramolecular polymers. In addition, we summarize the newly developed supramolecular polymers with an AIE nature and their applications in chemical sensing, and in vitro and in vivo imaging, as well as the visualization of their structure and properties. Finally, the development trends and challenges of AIE-active supramolecular polymers are prospected.

Abstract
Aggregates often exhibit modified or completely new properties compared with their molecular elements, making them an extraordinarily advantageous form of materials. The fluorescence signal change characteristics resulting from molecular aggregation endow aggregates with high sensitivity and broad applicability. In molecular aggregates, the photoluminescence properties at the molecular level can be annihilated or elevated, leading to aggregation-causing quenching (ACQ) or aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects. This change in photoluminescence properties can be intelligently introduced in food hazard detection. Recognition units can combine with the aggregate-based sensor by joining the aggregation process, endowing the sensor with the high specificity of analytes (such as mycotoxins, pathogens, and complex organic molecules). In this review, aggregation mechanisms, structural characteristics of fluorescent materials (including ACQ/AIE-activated), and their applications in food hazard detection (with/without recognition units) are summarized. Because the design of aggregate-based sensors may be influenced by the properties of their components, the sensing mechanisms of different fluorescent materials were described separately. Details of fluorescent materials, including conventional organic dyes, carbon nanomaterials, quantum dots, polymers and polymer-based nanostructures and metal nanoclusters, and recognition units, such as aptamer, antibody, molecular imprinting, and host-guest recognition, are discussed. In addition, future trends of developing aggregate-based fluorescence sensing technology in monitoring food hazards are also proposed.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a non-invasive characterization method for studying molecular structures and dynamics, providing high spatial resolution at nanometer scale. Over the past decades, FRET-based measurements are developed and widely implemented in synthetic polymer systems for understanding and detecting a variety of nanoscale phenomena, enabling significant advances in polymer science. In this review, the basic principles of fluorescence and FRET are briefly discussed. Several representative research areas are highlighted, where FRET spectroscopy and imaging can be employed to reveal polymer morphology and kinetics. These examples include understanding polymer micelle formation and stability, detecting guest molecule release from polymer host, characterizing supramolecular assembly, imaging composite interfaces, and determining polymer chain conformations and their diffusion kinetics. Finally, a perspective on the opportunities of FRET-based measurements is provided for further allowing their greater contributions in this exciting area.

Abstract
Chromophores that exhibit aggregation-induced emission (i.e., aggregation-induced emission luminogens [AIEgens]) emit intense fluorescence in their aggregated states, but show negligible emission as discrete molecular species in solution due to the changes in restriction and freedom of intramolecular motions. As solvent-swollen quasi-solids with both a compact phase and a free space, gels enable manipulation of intramolecular motions. Thus, AIE-active gels have attracted significant interest owing to their various distinctive properties and promising application potential. Herein, a comprehensive overview of AIE-active gels is provided. The fabrication strategies employed are detailed, and the applications of AIEgens are summarized. In addition, the gel functions arising from the AIE moieties are revealed, along with their structure-property relationships. Furthermore, the applications of AIE-active gels in diverse areas are illustrated. Finally, ongoing challenges and potential means to address them are discussed, along with future perspectives on AIE-active gels, with the overall aim of inspiring research on novel materials and ideas.

Abstract
The novel multistimuli-responsive monofluorophoric supramolecular polymer Poly(TPE-DBC)/FL-DBA and pseudo[3]rotaxane TPE-DBC/FL-DBA consisted of the closed form of nonemissive fluorescein guest FL-DBA along with TPE-based main-chain macrocyclic polymer Poly(TPE-DBC) and TPE-functionalized macrocycle TPE-DBC hosts, respectively. By the combination of various external stimuli, these fluorescent supramolecular host-guest systems could reveal interesting photoluminescence (PL) properties in DMF/H2O (1:1, v/v) solutions, including bifluorophoric host-guest systems after the complexation of Al3+ ion, i.e., TPE-DBC/FL-DBA-Al3+ and Poly(TPE-DBC)/FL-DBA-Al3+ with their corresponding open form of fluorescein guest FL-DBA-Al3+. Importantly, the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes occurred in both bifluorophoric host-guest systems between blue-emissive TPE donors (λem = 470 nm) and green-emissive fluorescein acceptors (λem = 527 nm) after aluminum detection, which were further verified by time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements to acquire their FRET efficiencies of 40.4 and 31.1%, respectively. Both supramolecular host-guest systems exhibited stronger green fluorescein emissions as well as appealing ratiometric PL behaviors within the desirable donor-acceptor distances of FRET processes in comparison with their detached analogous mixtures. Regarding the pH effects, the optimum green fluorescein emissions with effective FRET processes of all compounds and host-guest systems were sustained in the range pH = 7-10. Interestingly, both host-guest systems TPE-DBC/FL-DBA and Poly(TPE-DBC)/FL-DBA possessed high sensitivities and selectivities toward aluminum ion to display their strong green emissions via FRET-ON behaviors due to the chelation-induced ring opening of spirolactam moieties to become green-emissive guest acceptor FL-DBA-Al3+, which offered excellent limit of detection (LOD) values of 50.61 and 38.59 nM, respectively, to be further applied for the fabrication of facile test strips toward aluminum detection. Accordingly, the inventive ratiometric PL and FRET sensor approaches of supramolecular host-guest systems toward aluminum ion with prominent sensitivities and selectivities were well-established in this study.

Abstract
Enhanced emission and adjustable wavelength for single luminogen systems are highly desirable in the scope of photoluminescent materials. Herein, a supramolecular strategy has been proposed for supramolecular assembly-induced enhanced emission and valid emission manipulation by fabricating an amphiphilic copolymer host material with pillar[5]arene units as the side chains, whereby cyanovinylene-based (CV) derivatives are anchored to the polymer hosts via host-guest interactions. The guest-bearing copolymers can further form luminescent supramolecular polymer nanoparticles (SPNs). Remarkably, the as-prepared SPNs exhibit dramatic emission enhancement and tunable fluorescence wavelength, ascribing to the synergetic effects involving the restriction of intramolecular motions and the prevented excimer formation for CV moieties, as endowed by host-guest interactions and the entanglement of the polymer chains. Furthermore, the SPNs can be established as efficient artificial light-harvesting systems via the inclusion of Nile red into the particles for broadened emission spectra. As a proof-of-concept study, the use of pillar[5]arene-containing polymer hosts largely facilitates the emission enhancement and wavelength adjustment for the inherent luminogens, setting the basis for the supramolecular design of highly tunable luminescent systems.

Abstract
Inspired by the vast array of assemblies present in nature, supramolecular chemistry has attracted significant attention on account of its diverse supra-structures, which include micelles, vesicles, and fibers, in addition to its extensive applications in luminescent materials, sensors, bioimaging, and drug delivery over the past decades. Supramolecular polymers, which represent a combination of supramolecular chemistry and polymer science, are constructed by non-covalent interactions, such as host-guest interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions, metal-ligand interactions, π-π stacking, and electrostatic interactions. To date, numerous host-guest recognition systems have been reported, including crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbituril, pillararenes, and other macrocyclic hosts. Among them, crown ethers, as the first generation of macrocyclic hosts, provide a promising and facile alternative route to supramolecular polymers. In addition, the incorporation of fluorophores into supramolecular polymers could endow them with multiple properties and functions, thereby presenting potential advantages in the context of smart materials. Thus, this review focuses on the fabrication strategies, interesting properties, and potential applications of fluorescent supramolecular polymers based on crown ethers. Typical examples are presented and discussed in terms of three different types of building blocks, namely covalently bonded low-molecular-weight compounds, polymers modified by hosts or guests, and supramolecular coordination complexes.

Abstract
Vitrimers endow cross-linked polymers with malleability and reprocessability via exchange reactions. However, designing of reprocessable, shape-memory polymer materials with high strength via a catalyst-free method remains a challenge under mild conditions. Here, we propose a facile strategy to address this dilemma by introducing the exchangeable imine bond and N-coordinated boroxine into a polybutadiene (PB)-based network. Specifically, PB grafted with 2-aminoethanethiol is reacted with the formyl group of phenylboronic acid and dehydrated to form a dual-dynamic covalently cross-linked network at room temperature. The dynamic network draws on the advantage of imine (toughness) and N-coordinated boroxine (strength), making the PB-based materials exhibit favorable malleability, mechanical property, reprocessability, and thermal-induced shape-memory behavior. We can obtain customized high mechanical properties by tuning the cross-linking density, and the tensile strength reaches a high value (12.35 MPa) without fillers or any other additives. Meanwhile, the unique network framework makes the material recycle over several times without sacrificing its property. This work presents a facile and effective approach to achieve a multifunctional polymer with customized attributes. Besides, this strategy can recycle end-of-life rubber to alleviate environmental pollution and provide inspiration for fabricating targeted materials by uniting the dynamic covalent or noncovalent bonds.

Abstract
The emergence of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has significantly stimulated the development of luminescent supramolecular materials because their strong emissions in the aggregated state have resolved the notorious obstacle of the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, thereby enabling AIEgen-based supramolecular materials to have a promising prospect in the fields of luminescent materials, sensors, bioimaging, drug delivery, and theranostics. Moreover, in contrast to conventional fluorescent molecules, the configuration of AIEgens is highly twisted in space. Investigating AIEgens and the corresponding supramolecular materials provides fundamental insights into the self-assembly of nonplanar molecules, drastically expands the building blocks of supramolecular materials, and pushes forward the frontiers of supramolecular chemistry. In this review, we will summarize the basic concepts, seminal studies, recent trends, and perspectives in the construction and applications of AIEgen-based supramolecular materials with the hope to inspire more interest and additional ideas from researchers and further advance the development of supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
The discovery of the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon in the early 2000s not only has overcome persistent challenges caused by traditional aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), but also has brought about new opportunities for the development of useful functional molecules. Through the years, AIE luminogens (AIEgens) have been widely studied for applications in the areas of biomedical and biological sensing, chemosensing, optoelectronics, and stimuli responsive materials. Particularly in the application of chemosensing, a myriad of novel AIE-based sensors has been developed to detect different neutral molecular, cationic and anionic species, with a rapid detection time, high sensitivity and high selectivity by monitoring fluorescence changes. This review thus summarises the recent development of AIE-based chemosensors for the detection of anionic species, including halides and halide-containing anions, cyanides, and sulphur-, phosphorus- and nitrogen- containing anions, as well as a few other anionic species, such as citrate, lactate and anionic surfactants.

Abstract
The synthesis of conjugates of perylene diimide (PDI) and naphthalene diimide (NDI) modified with two benzo-21-crown-7 ethers (B21C7) are herein described. Their self-assembly behavior in various solvents was investigated particularly in aqueous medium, due to the recently discovered hydrophilic properties of B21C7 crown macrocycle. An unexpected fluorescence quenching phenomenon was observed in the PDI-B21C7 macrocycle conjugate in chloroform. The detailed UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of these PDI/NDI derivatives in different solvents as well as their morphologies were investigated.

Abstract
A new type of dynamic covalent macrocycle with self-promoted supramolecular gelation behavior is developed. Under oxidative conditions, the dithiol compound containing a diamide alkyl linker with an odd number (7) of carbon chain and an appended crown ether shows a remarkable gelation ability in acetonitrile, without any template molecules. Due to the existence of crown ethers and disulfide bonds, the obtained gel shows a multiple stimuli-responsiveness behavior. The mechanical properties and reversibility of the gel are investigated. Computational modeling suggests that the peripheral chain for diamide hydrogen bonding is responsible for the gelation process.

Abstract
Herein, we present a method for the preparation of supramolecular polymers with tunable fluorescence via the combination of metal-ligand coordination and phenanthrene-21-crown-7 (P21C7)-based host-guest interactions. A suite of rhomboidal metallacycles with different substituents were prepared via the coordination-driven self-assembly of a P21C7-based 60° diplatinum(II) acceptor and 120° dipyridyl donors. Upon variation of the substituents on the dipyridyl donors, the metallacycles exhibit emission wavelengths spanning the visible region (λmax = 427-593 nm). Metallacycle-cored supramolecular polymers were obtained via host-guest interactions between bis-ammonium salts and P21C7. The supramolecular polymers exhibit emission wavelengths similar to those of the individual metallacycles and higher fluorescent efficiency in solution and thin films. Utilizing a yellow-emitting supramolecular polymer thin film with high quantum yield (0.22), a white-light-emitting LED was fabricated by painting the thin film onto an ultraviolet LED. This study presents an efficient approach for tuning the properties of fluorescent supramolecular polymers and the potential of the metallacycle-cored supramolecular polymers as a platform for the fabrication of light-emitting materials with good processability and tunability.

Abstract
3-Hydroxyflavone derivatives have great potential as fluorescent probes for bio-labeling in aqueous medium. They were extensively studied in various organic solvents for the "excited state intramolecular proton transfer" process, but seldom addressed in aqueous solution due to the poor water solubility. Herein, an amphiphilic molecule bearing 3-hydroxyflavone and oligo(ethylene oxide) (denoted as 3HF-EO) was designed and synthesized. Different from the fluorescence in organic solvents, 3HF-EO in aqueous solution showed a remarkable single fluorescence emission, which is ascribed to the fluorescence of its anionic species. We found that the fluorescence intensity could be efficiently tuned via host-guest complexation. α-CD has little effect on the emission, while β-CD and γ-CD lead to enhanced and reduced emissions of 3HF-EO, respectively. The 1H NMR and 2D NOESY NMR spectra indicate that α-CD barely had any interaction with 3HF-EO, while β-CD and γ-CD formed complexes with one and two 3HF-EO molecules, respectively. These results provide a sound explanation for the modulated fluorescence intensity.
