报告摘要：
唐本忠院士主要从事高分子合成方法论的探索、先进光电功能材料的开发以及聚集诱导发光(AIE)现象的研究。在本次报告会中，唐院士主要介绍他在聚集诱导发光领域的研究，包括具有聚集诱导发光特性的化合物种类、结构特点、内在发光机制，聚集过程限制分子内振动和转动与发光强度之间的关系，以及这类具有特殊发光现象的分子在荧光传感、生物成像、有机发光二极管等领域的应用。他还将着重介绍自身对原创性、系统性科学研究精髓的感悟与理解，引导青年科技人员注重创新性思维以及科研工作的深入和积累。

Abstract:
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomena have played more and more important role in the development of synthetic polymer chemistry, advanced optoelectronic materials and their applications, since the first report of Prof Tang in 2001. This presentation will introduce the physics basis and design principle of AIE-active molecules, including their classifications, structures, molecular mechanism and applications in fluorescent sensing, bioimaging and OLED etc. Also, Prof Tang will share his understanding on creativity and systematic research, and stimulate young investigators to focus on creative thoughts and the accumulation of scientific researches.
