Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2007-03-20 DOI: 10.1039/B701217A

Abstract

The field of shell cross-linked (SCL) micelles is briefly reviewed. Important advances over the last two years are emphasized, potential application areas are discussed and current technical problems with these fascinating nanoparticles are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to (i) the development of new cross-linking chemistries and (ii) the adsorption of SCL micelles at interfaces.
