Emerging Applications (Handbook of Aggregation-induced Emission, 3)

The third volume of the ultimate reference on the science and applications of aggregation-induced emission 

The Handbook of Aggregation-Induced Emission explores foundational and advanced topics in aggregation-induced emission, as well as cutting-edge developments in the field, celebrating twenty years of progress and achievement in this important and interdisciplinary field. The three volumes combine to offer readers a comprehensive and insightful interpretation accessible to both new and experienced researchers working on aggregation-induced emission. 

In Volume 3: Emerging Applications, the editors address the applications of AIEgens in several fields, including bio-imaging, fluorescent molecular switches, electrochromic materials, regenerative medicine, detection of organic volatile contaminants, hydrogels, and organogels. Topics covered include:  

• AIE-active emitters and their applications in OLEDs, and circularly polarized luminescence of aggregation-induced emission materials 
• AIE polymer films for optical sensing and energy harvesting, aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence, and mechanoluminescence materials with aggregation-induced emission 
• Dynamic super-resolution fluorescence imaging based on photoswitchable fluorescent spiropyran 
• Visualization of polymer microstructures 
• Self-assembly of micelle and vesicles 
• New strategies for biosensing and cell imaging 

Perfect for academic researchers working on aggregation-induced emission, this set of volumes is also ideal for professionals and students in the fields of photophysics, photochemistry, materials science, optoelectronic materials, synthetic organic chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, polymer science, and biological sciences.
