Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have been extensively applied in fluorescence detection

bioimaging and organic light-emitting devices owing to their unique luminescence properties. In this paper

the applications of AIE materials in the monitoring of polymerization processes (including bulk polymerization

solution polymerization

emulsion polymerization and suspension polymerization) have been reviewed. Meanwhile

researches of fluorescence detection of the glass transition temperature

viscosity

molecular weight and phase separation of polymers based on AIE materials have been summarized. Finally

the application of AIE-based materials in polymer science is prospected.
