Although lots of works have been done on the hydrolysis of synthetic biodegradable polymers, the methods for monitoring the degradation process still suffer from some disadvantages, especially in terms of detection speed and non-invasive manners. In this work, a fast, non-invasive visualization monitoring platform was developed for hydrolytic degradation of bio-degradable polymers based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) technique. We synthesized and introduced an amphiphilic AIE probe to the commercial polylactide (PLA) matrix through a simple co-precipitation process. Amphiphilic AIE prob...
