It was found that compared with peanut husk/HDPE composite and walnut shell/HDPE composite, whether mechanical strength or creep resistance, the rice husk/HDPE composite was the best. Moreover, the basic characterization of the three composites showed that the bonding interface of rice husk/HDPE composites was the smoothest and most uniform compared with peanut husk/HDPE composites and walnut shell/HDPE composites, and although the fiber content had an important effect on the diffraction peak intensity of the composites, it did not change the microcrystalline structure of the three composites.
