Controllable synthesis and AIE properties of fluorescent polyesters

For the potential application of functional polyesters in biomedical field, a series of side-chain functional fluorescent polyesters have been designed and prepared through the polymerization of AIE-functionalized carbonate monomer TPETC. The controllable nature of TPETC’s ROP and ROCP using different organocatalysts has been proved. In the dilute solution of these AIE polyesters, the structure of the polymers themselves, concentration of the...
