Features and Collections
[edit]- Aggregation-induced Emission (AIE) AIE is a concept coined by Tang's group in 2001, introducing a type of luminescent materials that are contrary to Aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) emitters. During the decades' development, the study and applications of AIE have been greatly expanded, including but not limited to bio-imaging, chemical sensors, devices, and many other aspects that are included in this collection.
- Functional Polymers Functional polymers with unique features and applications gain increasing popularity in academia and the industry. Various functions could be realized by using specific preparation methods and introducing functional groups or fillers into materials. The articles in this collection involve design strategies, preparation methods, physical and chemical properties, and potential applications of plentiful polymeric materials.
- Biological Aggregates In biological systems, biomaterials are functioning with specific assemblies or conformations in the aggregated state, like proteins and DNA. The structures, assemblies, and working mechanisms of various biological aggregates are crucial for their biological activities and biomedical applications. In this section, research regarding the biological aggregates is collected.
- Stimulus-Responsive Materials Stimulus-responsive materials can display remarkable changes in the properties with a slight change in environmental conditions such as light, pH, temperature, moisture, electricity, and so forth, which provide enormous potential in the bio-/chemo-sensors, actuators, drug delivery, and artificial muscles. In this collection, recent advances of stimulus-responsive materials published in Aggregate are included.
- Supramolecular Assembly Supramolecular chemistry exploits the formation, structure, and function of multimolecular complexes held together by reversible noncovalent bonding interactions within and between the component molecules. This collection focuses on the new supramolecular assembly systems and their applications.
- Photophysics & Photovoltaics Optoelectronics and photovoltaic devices are one primary application of luminescent materials, which brings about tremendous changes to daily life. Various devices, such as organic light-emitting, organic solar cells, nonlinear optics and so on, are presented in this collection.
- Inorganic Aggregates Aggregates exist everywhere, and those inorganic aggregates, like metal nanoclusters, have unique structures and properties, endowing them with many types of functions. This collection assembles the recent progress of inorganic aggregates, including the design strategy, synthesis, mechanisms, and perspectives on further development.
- Chirality & Helicity Chiral structures not only exist in nature widely, but they also emerge in artificial systems, attracting myriad attention due to their excellent mechanical, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. Recent aggregology studies related to chirality and helicity are summarized in this collection.
- Theranostics & Healthcare Theranostics, referring to the ingenious integration of diagnostics and therapeutics, has garnered tremendous attention in recent years as it provides a promising opportunity for modern personalized and precision medicine. This collection presents the significant breakthroughs and state-of-the-art progression of aggregates in theranostics that have been published in Aggregate.
