Abstract: A method for manufacturing a molded product of the present disclosure includes a deposition step of depositing a mixture including a fiber and starch in air, a humidification step of applying water to the mixture, and a molding step of heating and pressurizing the mixture applied with water to obtain a molded product. The starch has a gelatinized and then pulverized particle diameter d50 of 0.30 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less, which is the average particle diameter of the finely pulverized product determined by a prescribed measuring method.

Abstract: Provided is a coating film having excellent durability and wear resistance, and utility as mold surface release coating. The coating film has excellent releasability (non-adhesiveness) over a long period of time. Further provided is a coating composition capable of forming such a coating film, the coating composition containing a fluoropolymer and an oil that is a liquid at 25° C., wherein the decomposition temperature of the oil is higher than the melting point of the fluoropolymer.

Abstract: The method for producing an assembly is a method for producing an assembly equipped with a member to be reinforced (20), a reinforcing member body (41), and a filler (42), wherein the reinforcing member body (41) has a pair of flanges (44) arranged spaced on the surface (20B) of the member to be reinforced (20), a web (45), and a connection portion (46) which connects the flanges (44) and the web (45) and forms a filler space (V) with the surface (20B). The method for producing an assembly includes a step for inserting a filler (42) into the filler space (V), a step for attaching a crack control member (43) to cover the end of the filler (42), a step for joining the flanges (44) and the member to be reinforced (20), and a step for curing at least the member to be reinforced (20).
