Patent number: 8758545Abstract: A method for producing a molded body in which the matrix of a composite material is prevented from penetrating into carbon foam. The method includes: disposing a thermosetting adhesive (3) on a porous body (2), disposing a composite material (4) containing a thermosetting resin as a matrix on the adhesive, curing the adhesive, and liquefying and curing the matrix of the composite material after the adhesive has been cured.
