Durian skin wastes generated by durian fruit or Durio zibethinus Murray shows potential as a new natural fiber-based reinforcement for polymers. Freeze drying (FD) method is reported able to reduce the size of particles. Thus, in this research, durian skin nanofiber (DSNF) is developed using a FD...
