A Versatile Strategy for Multi‐Stimuli‐Responsive Fluorescent Material Based on Cross‐Linking‐Induced Emission: Applications in Encryption. Issue 44 (29th September 2022) - Jiang, Yu
Abstract: A versatile strategy for smart fluorescent materials is lacking due to their diverse responding mechanisms and incompatibility of responsive behaviors. Herein an adaptable strategy is presented toward a multi‐stimuli‐responsive fluorescent material with stage‐by‐stage responsive behavior by blending linear polymers modified with different stimulus‐responsive moieties and AIE cross‐linker. Under stimuli, the linear polymer can cross‐link with the cross‐linker to form networks, which intrinsically restrict the intramolecular rotation of the AIE molecule to induce strong emission. A unified stimuli‐responsive mechanism is involved in that various stimuli are transferred through the organized "stimulus‐crosslink‐emission" process. This strategy ensures the compatibility of different stimuli‐responses and the adjustability of stimulus‐response behavioral logic. These multi‐stimuli‐responsive fluorescent materials exhibited strong accessibility and adaptability for information encryption.
