Abstract

Thermo-responsive fluorescent materials are promising candidates for the development of fluorescent thermometers, biological sensors and biomedicine. Since the interesting phenomenon of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was first defined by Tang in 2001, it has provided a wonderful platform for development of efficient luminescent materials. Over the past decade, luminophors with AIE characteristics were incorporated into thermo-responsive polymers to construct smart polymers with temperature-dependent fluorescent behaviors. In this review, we summarized the working principles and related applications of AIE-active thermo-responsive polymers developed recently, mainly focusing on fluorescence intensity enhancement with either increasing or decreasing temperature.

摘要

热敏荧光材料是开发荧光温度计，生物传感器和生物医学的有前途的候选者。自2001年Tang首次定义了有趣的聚集诱导发射现象（AIE）以来，它为开发高效发光材料提供了一个绝佳的平台。在过去的十年中，具有AIE特性的发光体被引入到热响应聚合物中，以构建具有温度依赖性荧光行为的智能聚合物。在这篇综述中，我们总结了最近开发的AIE活性热敏聚合物的工作原理和相关应用，主要关注随着温度升高或降低荧光强度的增强。
