Time evolution of the mutual separation of the three components. The distances between the two \({{\hbox {SiO}}_2}\) particles (NP1, NP2) as well as between each nanoparticle and the LCPA are shown during a 20 ns simulation run. The center of mass is used to measure the distance between the nanoparticles. For the LCPA, we use the average distance of its atoms to the center of mass of the corresponding nanoparticle. The near convergence of the three distances after 15 ns reflects the formation of the aggregate shown in Fig. 7
