Abstract
A shaped-article for use in producing a fiber-reinforced composite member is formed of short fibers and deformed fibers. The deformed fibers have a plurality of needle-like portions extending from a nucleus portion. The short fibers are orientated at random by dispersing the deformed fibers. The fiber shaped-article is formed by pouring a slurry of the short fibers and deformed fibers dispensed in a liquid into a mold, compressing the slurry and removing the liquid.
