Novel high-efficiency PL polyimide nanofiber containing aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active cyanotriphenylamine luminogen.

Two aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active high-performance polymers and their electrospun (ES) nanofibers were synthesized and prepared. Strong luminescence is induced when they are aggregated in poor solvents or fabricated into solid films and this is further enhanced when they are prepared as ES nanofibers, demonstrating their AIE feature and great potential for optoelectronic applications.
