The multiple barriers not only prevent the contact between NPs and provide kinetic stability to the dispersion, but also affect their dynamics and induce a long-range organization of nanoparticles. The slow down of nanoparticles dynamics can potentially be explored to produce gels and the long-range ordering can be used as a template for the synthesis of complex materials, with nanocrystals of one material dispersed inside a matrix of a different material with the spacing between nanocrystals of the dispersed material controlled by the size of the domain segregation in the solvent.
