This book explores the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect,
which has opened new avenues for the development of advanced
luminogenic materials in the aggregate or solid state. By enabling
light emission in the practically useful solid state, AIE has the
potential to significantly expand the technological applications of
luminescent materials. This book addresses principles, methods, and
applications of AIEs, offering a new platform for the investigation
of light-emitting processes from luminogen aggregates. Applications
of AIE include biomedical diagnostics, sensor materials, and
optoelectronic devices, among others, and are described in detail
within the book. The development of a new generation of AIEgens, a
deep understanding of the AIE mechanism(s), and the exploration of
advanced technological applications will enable this exciting field
to develop further. Headed by the pioneering researcher who started
the field, Professor Ben Zhong Tang, this book combines both
principles and applications and brings together global researchers
in the field to report the progress, current challenges, and
potential breakthroughs that may be accomplished in the near
future. Provides an authoritative account of the fundamentals,
properties, and potential of AIE by the pioneer of this active,
highly-researched field; Highlights technological applications of
AIE spanning biomedicine, sensor materials, and optoelectronics,
among others; Presents a comprehensive view on challenges in the
further development of AIE and derived technologies.
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents
critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry
organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of
chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines
such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each
thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in
academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where
new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger
scientific audience.Each review within the volume critically
surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context
of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the
last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to
illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended
to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large
quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating
on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist
reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also
offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.The
chapter "Aggregation-Induced Emission In Electrochemiluminescence:
Advances and Perspectives" is available open access under a CC BY

In recent years, nanocomposites have attracted great interest, both
in industry and in academia. One of the major problems associated
with nanocomposites is their extremely high viscosity obtained. So,
(1) the power requirement for extrusion is higher, (2) higher
processing rates become infeasible, and (3) higher shearing heating
cause degradation of polymer. Thermotropic liquid crystalline
polymers (TLCPs) successfully act as processing aids that enable
thermoplastics, which normally extrude at temperatures high enough
to cause degradation, to be processed at lower and less damaging
temperatures. Processing windows are expanded and extrusion
pressure is decreased, resulting in reductions in energy input and
associated costs. This work includes three aspects: (1) understand
the interactions between TLCP and organoclay, (2) characterize the
viscosity reduction in polyethylene (PE)/TLCP/organoclay
nanocomposites, and (3) elucidate the proposed mechanisms for the
viscosity changes. This work should be useful to professionals in
nanocomposite processing and polymer melt rheology, especially for
processing nanocomposites using TLCPs as viscosity reduction
agents.
