title: Recent advances in shell cross-linked micelles.
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.
