Abstract: Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have revealed a novel wetting phenomenon with a droplet on composite structures formed by embedded water into (111) surface of β-cristobalite hydroxylated silica. This can be attributed to the formation of a composite structure composed of embedded water molecules and the surface hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which reduces the number of hydrogen bonds between the composite structure and the water droplet above the composite structure. Interestingly, a small uniform strain ( 3%) applied to the crystal lattice of the hydroxylated silica surface can result in a notable change of the contact angles (>40°) on the surface. The finding provides new insights into the correlation between the molecular-scale interfacial water structures and the macroscopic wettability of the hydroxylated silica surface.

Key words: lattice strain, surface wettability, embedded water, hydrogen bonds
