Shaping slurry and shaping method

Abstract

A shaping slurry that forms a shaped product with a granule includes: a water-based solvent; a hydrophobic granule that forms the shaped product; and an amphiphatic solid polymer that forms the shaped product, and is dissolved in the water-based solvent.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shaping slurry that forms a shaped product with a granule,
 the shaping slurry comprising:   a water-based solvent;   a hydrophobic granule that forms the shaped product; and   an amphiphatic solid polymer that forms the shaped product, and is dissolved in the water-based solvent.   
     
     
         2 . The shaping slurry according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the granule is a resin granule,   wherein the water-based solvent contains a nonorganic main solvent component, and   wherein the amphiphatic solid polymer has a hydrocarbon chain backbone, and a side-chain hydrophilic functional group.   
     
     
         3 . The shaping slurry according to  claim 1 , wherein the amphiphatic solid polymer is polyvinyl alcohol. 
     
     
         4 . The shaping slurry according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the water-based solvent is water, and   wherein the polyvinyl alcohol has a polymerization degree of from 300 to 1,000, inclusive.   
     
     
         5 . The shaping slurry according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the water-based solvent is water, and   wherein the polyvinyl alcohol has a saponification degree of from 85 to 90, inclusive.   
     
     
         6 . The shaping slurry according to  claim 1 , further comprising a fiber material.
