Abstract
We present a short review of fluorescence recovery (FRAP) experiments done with polymer-like micelles, allowing the study of self-diffusion in these media. The observed behavior is varied, specially in the semi -dilute regime where one can observe reptation processes interrupted b y micelle breakage and recombination, and in some cases accelerated di ffusion.
