Abstract: Polysiloxane-based fluorescent materials as a class of organosilicon materials with unique properties have found extensive applications, including fluorescent probes, biosensing, mechanical sensing, and light-emitting diodes. In this review, based on the literatures on polysiloxane-based fluorescent materials at home and abroad and the results from our group in recent decades, the progress in three types of polysiloxane-based fluorescent materials, including linear, hyperbranched, and crosslinked structures, are summarized from the viewpoints of synthesis, applications, and fluorescent mechanism. In particular, the function of polysiloxanes in these fluorescent materials is discussed. Finally, the trend and prospects of polysiloxane-based fluorescent materials are presented.

Key words: polysiloxane, fluorescent material, hyperbranched polysiloxane, silicone rubber, organosilicon
