Book Description
Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE): A Practical Guide introduces readers to the topic, guiding them through fundamental concepts and the latest advances in applications. The book covers concepts, principles and working mechanisms of AIE in AIE-active luminogens, with different classes of AIE luminogens reviewed, including polymers, three-dimensional frameworks (MOFs and COFs) and supramolecular gels. Special focus is given to the structure-property relationship, structural design strategies, targeted properties and application performance. The book provides readers with a deep understanding, not only on the fundamental principles of AIE, but more importantly, on how AIE luminogens and AIE properties can be incorporated in material development. - Provides the fundamental principles, design and synthesis strategies of aggregation induced emission materials - Reviews the most relevant applications in materials design for stimuli-responsive materials, biomedical applications, chemo-sensing and optoelectronics - Emphasizes structural design and its connection to aggregation induced emission properties, also exploring the structure-property relationship

Book Description
Supramolecular aggregation—driven by weak non-covalent interactions, such as van der Waals, π–π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic—has been utilized to build sensing platforms with improved selectivity and sensitivity. Supramolecular aggregates, owing to cooperative interactions, higher sensitivity and selectivity, relatively weak and dynamic non-covalent interactions, and environmental adaptation, have achieved better sensing performance than that of molecular sensory systems that rely on sensors with delicate structures. Aggregation of Luminophores in Supramolecular System: From Mechanisms to Applications describes recent advances in supramolecular chemistry, in which the luminophores are almost non-luminescent in the molecular state, but become highly emissive in the aggregate state. These advances bring new opportunities and challenges for the development of supramolecular chemistry. The intermolecular non-covalent interactions have been considered to be the main driving forces for fabricating supramolecular systems with aggregating luminophores and have an important influence on the luminescence properties of the probes. Based on these unique properties, luminescent supramolecular aggregates have greatly promoted the development of novel materials for applications as sensors, bio-imaging agents, organic electronic devices, and in the field of drug delivery. Features: Discussion of fundamental and interdisciplinary aspects of the aggregation in supramolecular systems. Narration of intermolecular interactions and the photophysical phenomenon of aggregation in supramolecular systems. Comparative discussion on recent developments in aggregation-induced quenching (AIQ) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and drawbacks of AIQ. Description of the technological applications of aggregation as biological sensors, chemical sensors, organic electronic materials, and in the field of drug delivery. A convenient format for checking formulas and definitions. This book surveys highlights of the progress made in the field of the aggregation of luminophores in supramolecular chemistry. It is hoped that the work will form a foundation (and indeed a motivation) for new workers in the area, as well as also being useful to experienced supramolecular chemists. It may also aid workers in the biological area to see Nature’s aggregation in a new light. Further, the approach employed has been designed to provide readable background material for use with graduates, senior undergraduates, research professionals, and industries.

Book Description
Learning about and understanding the world in which we live has been given fresh impetus in recent years with many government sponsored initiatives around the world to foster international education. However, international education is not easily or clearly defined. The term is often used interchangeably with multicultural education or with global education. This book bridges the gap between theory, policy, and practice by providing a critical perspective on international education, and tracking and analyzing its development as a national strategy in the UK. The book examines international education's conceptual basis and explores its relationship with other concepts, such as global citizenship and interculturalism. It considers the skills and resources that assist the development of international education initiatives. It also explores the implementation of international education at the school level through case studies. The book will be of use to policy makers and practitioners, students in initial teacher education, and post-graduate programs of study for classroom practitioners and school leaders.

Book Description
Mechanochromic fluorescent (or mechanofluorochromic) materials change their emission colours (spectra) when an appropriate external mechanical force stimulus is applied. This is an important group of materials with a huge range of applications, including use in sensors, memory chips, security inks, and light devices. Mechanochromic Fluorescent Materials introduces the reader to the concept of mechanofluorochromism and the variety of applications of this group of materials. Prominent international figures in mechanofluorochromism consider the innovative research in this field over the last ten years. Chapters provide in depth coverage of most reported mechanofluorochromic systems, including organic and organic-inorganic complexes; polymer and polymer composites; and aggregation-induced emission. This book is aimed to inform all students and researchers with an interest in mechanofluorochromism, and to help researchers identify and synthesize more of these materials, and develop the study and application of mechanofluorochromic materials.
