Preparation of sintered shape and green body used therein

PURPOSE: To provide the method for preparing a sintered shape having relatively higher fired density, small and uniform grain sizes and lower porosity and to provide a green body used therein. CONSTITUTION: This method for preparing the sintered shape includes the following processes (1) and (2); a process (1) for forming the green body from a mixture comprising (A) a major amount of at least one kind inorganic powder with (B) at least one reaction product of alkanolamine with a hydrocarbyl- substituted carboxylic acylating agent, provided that when the hydrocarbyl group of the acylating agent contains less than average 40 carbon atoms the carboxylic acylating agent is a polycarboxylic acylating agent, and a process (2) of sintering the green body.
