Abstract
A method is provided for manufacturing a polyimide fiber paper intermediate structure, which includes: a short fiber preparing step for preparing shaved short fibers of a non-thermoplastic polyimide; and an intermediate structure forming step for forming a polyimide fiber paper intermediate structure in which the short fibers are temporarily bonded using a water-soluble and/or water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer having a melting point lower than a glass transition point of a polyimide.
