The results of CNFs isolation confirm the ability of Sc.CO2 to enhance the properties of isolated CNFs compared with non-Sc.CO2 obtained CNFs, in term of particle size, thermal properties and zeta potential value. The Sc.CO2 obtained CNFs had an average fibre length, and diameter of 53.72 and 7.14 nm, respectively, while non-Sc.CO2 obtained CNFs had longer fibre length and diameter (302.87 and 97.93 nm). Higher thermal stability and lower negativity value was also recorded for Sc.CO2 obtained CNFs. Extraction of cinnamon essential oil was conducted using Sc.CO2, which was found to be of low yield but high purity. 2022-04 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/59258/ http://eprints.usm.my/59258/1/ESAM%20BASHIR%20ABDULSALAM%20YAHYA%20-%20TESIS24.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Teknologi Industri
