There's huge amount of literature on brownian assembly (or more commonly called self assembly)

Wikipedia: self assembly; molecular self assembly

Beside their actual function completely unguided brownian assembly requires the parts to be one-to-one puzzle shaped. (everything that can stick will stick)
Brownian assembly is a lot slower then forms of directed assembly like mechanosynthesis.
