Abstract
Entrapment within surface-crosslinked micelles (SCMs) enhanced the emission of conventional hydrophobic fluorescent dyes, endowed them with excellent water solubility and membrane permeability, and greatly expanded the Stokes shifts without any covalent structural modification of the dyes.
