An encapsulation process including: (a) creating a heterogeneous mixture comprised of: (i) a continuous phase comprising a first liquid; and (ii) a disperse phase comprising a plurality of particle containing droplets including a second liquid and a particle component, wherein the second liquid is immiscible with the first liquid, thereby resulting in an interface between each of the droplets and the first liquid; (b) adding an amphiphile prior to or during formation of the heterogeneous mixture to minimize re-association of the droplets, wherein the molecules of the amphiphile spontaneously orient around each of the droplets at the interface to form a micelle shell around each of the particle containing droplets; and (c) polymerizing the micelle shell to form a polymerized micelle shell.
