New water-basednanofluidsincludingunparalleledmilk protein α-lactalbuminhollow nano-bio-tubes using low cost, available and advanced partial chemical hydrolysisstrategy inbottom-up nano-assembly have been employed in this work. Theaqueoussol-gel chemistry innanotechnology which we selected for this goal offersnew fabrication as interesting smart protein nanotubes. The kinds of nanometer sized tubular structures such as waved, helically coiled,bent, bamboo-shaped, bead-like andbranched single-walled protein nanotubes (SWPNTs) with a range of 3-8 nm in outer diameters wereproducedby this method. Complete characterization for natural produced nanotubes including SEM, TEM images, G bond and D bond in Raman spectroscopy, XRD patterns, DLS(Dynamic Light Scattering) and FTIR analysiswere evaluated which they are most significantexperimentsin synthesizedprotein nanotubes soluble in clear water nanofluids and stabilization oftransparent nanofluidswas proved within more than one year after preparation.
