	&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Nanocellulose emerges as a highly promising material with versatile applications, offering solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges. This study delves into the extraction of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Wodyetia bifurcata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;fruit pulp through mild oxalic acid hydrolysis assisted by steam explosion. To ensure environmental compatibility, chlorine-free pre-treatments were applied to eliminate non-cellulosic components. Chemical composition analysis verified the effective removal of non-cellulosic elements, validated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Solid-state&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;C nuclear magnetic resonance (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;C NMR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of type I cellulose α-polymorph in the CNF, while a crystallinity index of 60% was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM)&amp;nbsp;images revealed a fibrous morphology with a fiber diameter ranging from 9 to 36&amp;nbsp;nm. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was employed to corroborate the observed fiber diameter. Mild acid hydrolysis elevated the maximum degradation temperature (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;max&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;) of CNF to 39&amp;nbsp;°C compared to the pristine sample. Furthermore, this research explores the application of CNFs in nanopaper development using a casting method. The resulting nanopapers exhibited a tensile strength of ~ 17&amp;nbsp;MPa and a transmittance of 25%. These nanopapers present a viable pathway toward eco-friendly products in various industries, promising to revolutionize upcoming sustainable packaging technologies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
