While in various embodiments, the method relies on the use of preformed organic polymer latex particles and primary capsules, it will also be appreciated that optional steps to prepare the polymer latex particles and primary capsules may also be incorporated in various embodiments of the method. For example, prior to step 102, the method may optionally comprise step 110 for synthesizing the primary capsule and may also optionally comprise step 112 for synthesizing the organic polymer latex particles. The dotted lines of boxes containing steps 110 and 112 emphasise that these steps may be absent in some embodiments of the present disclosure as the primary capsule(s) and/or organic polymer latex particles may be preformed or purchased/obtained commercially. For example, preformed silica capsules may be used as the primary capsule(s) and preformed (responsive) polymer latex may be used as the organic polymer latex. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram 200 for illustrating a method of preparing a hybrid capsule in accordance with various embodiments disclosed herein. A primary capsule 202 is introduced into a volume of organic polymer latex particles 204a, 204b and 204c, collectively known as organic polymer latex 204 as shown by arrow 203 to form a suspension/dispersion/mixture 206. The organic polymer latex particles 204a, 204b and 204c then undergo heterocoagulation as shown by arrow 205 and physical curing as shown by arrow 207 to form an organic polymer coating layer 208 over a shell of the primary capsule 202, thereby forming a hybrid capsule 2 10. In other words, in various embodiments, the steps may include resuspension/dispersion of the polymer latex particles with the primary capsule followed by heterocoagulation such that fusion of the organic polymer latex particles will occur thereby forming film around the shell of the primary capsule. Thereafter, post processing steps such as purification and concentration of the capsules may take place. It will be appreciated that although not shown in the figure, the interior/core of the primary capsule 202 may be empty or may be filled/loaded with cargo such as active molecules.
