1. A method of preparing a coating composition for a separator of a secondary battery, the method comprising:
dispersing a first monomer and a surfactant in a solvent to form micelles;
adding a first initiator to the solvent and performing first polymerization reaction to form a precursor solution comprising a core portion; and
adding a second monomer and a second initiator to the precursor solution and performing second polymerization reaction to form a binder solution comprising a binder particle, wherein the binder particle comprising the core portion and a shell portion wrapping the core portion and the shell portion comprises:
a coating layer wrapping the surface of the core portion; and
a polymer chain crosslinked to the coating layer at an end of the polymer chain and extending radially outward from the coating layer,
wherein the polymer chain is water-soluble, and
the core portion and the shell portion are chemically bonded.
