Polymeric materials form the basis of daily life. Despite the great contribution of traditional methodologies such as anionic and radical polymerizations in preparing various functional polymers, the increasing demand for polymers with new structures and functions has inspired the development of new synthetic techniques. Many new polymerizations including click polymerization, controlled/living radical polymerization, multicomponent polymerization have been well developed. Focusing on breakthroughs and recent progress, Synthetic Polymer Chemistry provides efficient tools for the synthesis of linear and topological polymers. Chapters cover topics including fabrication of supramolecular polymers, organocatalytic synthesis and olefin co(polymerization). This title will be a valuable reference for those working in polymer chemistry, as well as students and researchers interested in opto-electronic, biological and materials sciences.

Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) is a novel photophysicalphenomenon which offers a new platform for researchers to lookinto the light-emitting processes from luminogen aggregates, fromwhich useful information on structure–property relationshipsmay be collected and mechanistic insights may be gained. Thediscovery of the AIE effect opens a new avenue for the developmentof new luminogen materials in the aggregate or solid state. Byenabling light emission in the practically useful solid state, AIEhas the potential to expand significantly the technologicalapplications of luminescent materials. Aggregation-Induced Emission: Fundamentals is the firstbook to explore the fundamental issues of AIE, including thedesign, synthesis, and photophysical behavior of AIE-activemolecules and polymers. The control of the morphological structuresof the aggregates of AIE-active materials, and the experimentalinvestigation and theoretical understanding of the AIE mechanism,are also covered in this volume. Topics covered include: AIE in group 14 metalloles AIE in organic ion pairs Red light-emitting AIE materials Supramolecular structure and AIE AIE-active polymers Enhanced emission by restriction of molecular rotation Crystallization-induced emission enhancement Theoretical understanding of AIE phenomena This book is essential reading for scientists and engineers whoare designing optoelectronic materials and biomedical sensors, andwill also be of interest to academic researchers in materialsscience and physical and synthetic organic chemistry, as well asphysicists and biological chemists.
