Solids, shaped objects, and methods for manufacturing solids

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a solid material that can be formed into a molded body with excellent ozone resistance, which is not easily affected by ozone bubbles; and to provide: the molded body and a method for manufacturing the solid material. The solid material of the present invention is in the form of powder or pellets and contains a copolymer, wherein the copolymer contains a unit A mainly composed of tetrafluoroethylene and a unit B mainly composed of monomers selected from the group consisting of monomers shown in formula (1) (CF2=CF-O-(CF2)n-CF3) and monomers shown in formula (2) (CF2=CF-CF2-O-(CF2)n-CF3); the total number of functional groups of -CF=CF2, -CF2H, -COF, -COOH, -COOCH3, -CONH2 and -CH2OH per 106 main chain carbons of the above copolymer is less than 150; and the solid material substantially does not contain the compound shown in formula (3) (CF3-(CF2)n-1-COOH).
