	&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;

	&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;This study explored the utility of underutilized avocado peels for extracting cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). Mild oxalic acid hydrolysis assisted by steam explosion was employed after alkali hydrolysis and chlorine-free bleaching to prepare cellulose nanofibers. The structural, atomic, and elemental features of the extracted fibers were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),&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 solid-state 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, and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis, respectively. The crystallinity index of the nanofibers was 87%, which was 53% greater than that of the crude sample. The elution of hemicellulose and lignin was evident from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, and the nanofibers had a fiber diameter of 30–82&amp;nbsp;nm according to the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The applied chemical treatment also elevated the thermal stability of the fibers. The extracted fibers can be applied in numerous fields, including electronics, packaging, automobiles, biomedicine, and cosmetics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
