Designing room‐temperature phosphorescent (RTP) hydrogels presents a unique challenge in comparison to RTP polymeric films and powders, due to the quenching of phosphorescence by water molecules within the hydrogel and their inherent softness. This study presents the first example of intrinsic RTP hydrogels without doping by luminophores or stiffening agents. The hydrogel is synthesized by copolymerizing acrylamide (Am) with N‐acryloyl‐aminoundecanoic acid (NAUA). The hydrophobic NAUA induces phase separation in the hydrogel network and the glass transition of the hydrophobic phase can stiffen the structure and constrain the mobility of water molecules and chain segments. Under such condition, the clustering of amide and carboxylic acid groups triggers the emission of RTP with a persistent afterglow exceeding 1.5 s, which is as good as the reported RTP hydrogels with dopants. When the hydrogel is heated above its glass transition temperature, its modulus drops quickly from 20.0 to 0.026 MPa within 2 s and RTP also diminishes. Taking advantage of the temperature‐switchable rigidity and RTP behavior, the hydrogels are endowed with functions such as shape memory, temperature‐sensing, and information concealment.

Recently, non‐traditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL) polymers containing ester groups have gained widely attention due to their potential in fluorescence materials application. As a common engineering plastic, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) possesses traditional luminescent center benzene ring and non‐traditional luminescent center carbonyl group on the molecular chain, yet the fluorescence characteristics of PBT have rarely been reported. Herein, a series of PBT‐based copolyesters PBTxAy were prepared by a two‐step melt polycondensation in this work. By introducing flexible aliphatic diacid into PBT chain, PBTxAy copolyesters exhibited unexpected fluorescence properties under the excitation of 350 nm UV lamp. Besides, the fluorescence emission wavelength of PBTxAy copolyesters could be tunable from 439 to 468 nm by changing the chemical structure. Consequently, this study provides a facial and economical approach to prepare PBT‐based fluorescent copolyesters, which exist a great potential as fluorescent engineering plastic in the future.

Luminescent polymers have gained considerable research effects in different fields, which are generally prepared by incorporating traditional luminescent moieties. In recent years, non‐traditional intrinsic luminescent (NTIL) polymers containing no traditional luminescent moieties has been reported, which has attracted broad attention. This review summarizes recent advances in multicolor NTIL polymers, including stimuli‐responsive NTIL polymers, multicolor luminescence of NTIL polymers through polymerization‐induced emission strategy or molecular structure modulation, and the positive influence of through‐space charge‐transfer effect and hydrogen bonding construction strategy on NTIL polymers. This review on NTIL polymers may cause inspirations in different fields.
