aThe RCFs took 16 min to dissolve and 4 min to debond.

bThe cellulose nanofibers took 60 min to undergo enzymatic treatment and 30 min to incubate. The time for homogenization is unknown.

cThe time for filtrating a 0.2 wt% suspension used to fabricate a 60 μm thick nanopaper with a density of 0.85 g/cm3.

dPercent transmission at 600 nm wavelength.
