Organic luminescent materials with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature have attracted great attention in various fields because of their unique properties. Compared to the well studied low-mass AIE luminogens, AIE polymers have been paid less attention even though they present outstanding advantages of high emission efficiency in aggregate and solid states, amplification effect of the signals, good processability and multiple functionalization, etc. This review briefly summarizes the synthetic strategies towards AIE polymers based on one-, two- and multi-component polymerizations. Afterward, the structure-property relationship, such as the effect of the skeleton and side-chains on the photophysical property is discussed. More importantly, nonconventional luminescent polymers and their mechanisms are specially introduced. Furthermore, the high-tech applications of AIE polymers in optoelectronic devices, chemo-/biosensors and biomedicine are illustrated. Finally, the perspectives on the future development direction of AIE polymers are briefly discussed. It is hoped that this review can serve as a trigger for future innovation in AIE research.

具有聚集诱导发射（AIE）功能的有机发光材料因其独特的性能而受到了广泛的关注。与经过充分研究的低质量AIE发光剂相比，AIE聚合物尽管具有突出的优点，包括聚集态和固态的高发射效率，信号的放大效果，良好的可加工性和多种功能化等优点，却受到了较少的关注。。这篇综述简要总结了基于单组分，双组分和多组分聚合的AIE聚合物的合成策略。随后，讨论了结构-性质关系，例如骨架和侧链对光物理性质的影响。更重要的是，特别介绍了非常规发光聚合物及其机理。此外，还说明了AIE聚合物在光电设备，化学/生物传感器和生物医学中的高科技应用。最后，简要讨论了有关AIE聚合物未来发展方向的观点。希望这次审查可以引发AIE研究的未来创新。
