ABSTRACT:
There is provided a honeycomb structure which is useful as a trapping filter for exhaust gas, especially as a DPF for a diesel engine and capable of effectively inhibiting defects such as a crack due to thermal stress from being generated upon use and regeneration. The honeycomb structure is provided with a honeycomb segment bonded body obtained by unitarily bonding a plurality of honeycomb segments at bonded faces via a bonding material layer and the outer periphery coat layer and has a structure having a plurality of cells functioning as fluid passages disposed in parallel with one another in a direction of a central axis. The honeycomb structure is characterized in that a bonding cross portion where two or more bonding material layers cross has a smaller thermal capacity than those of bonding portions other than the bonding cross portion.
