In this paper, we report results of a molecular dynamics study on the unique properties of organic-coated water droplets. In particular, we find that, for particles preferring an inverted micelle structure, the lower chain-chain interaction, with increasing radial distance from the water-organic interface, results in a negative internal radial pressure profile for the organic layer. As a result, a coated particle behaves as though the surface tension is "negative" and implies that such a particle will inherently have an inverse Kelvin vapor pressure effect, resulting in increased water condensation.
