Principles and Applications of Aggregation-Induced Emission
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

Preface
Luminescence in its various forms has attracted the attention of different disciplines in the natural sciences for centuries. Ever since, fluorescence, as well as its longlived counterpart phosphorescence, has been used for multiple applications such as chemo/biosensing and bioimaging. The widely used conventional luminophores have suffered from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching effect, which results in decreased or completely quenched fluorescence once they are aggregated. In 2001, Ben Zhong Tang at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology coined the concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE), wherein some fluorogens showed extremely weak emission in molecular states but highly bri
