Claim Text:
1. A honeycomb structure comprising a tubular honeycomb segment bonded body having a plurality of tubular honeycomb segments having porous partition walls defining a plurality of cells as through channels of a fluid which extend from a first end face as one end face to a second end face as another end face, and a bonding layer which bonds side surfaces of the plurality of honeycomb segments to each other; and a pair of electrode members disposed on a side surface of the honeycomb segment bonded body, wherein volume resistivities of the respective honeycomb segments of the honeycomb segment bonded body are from 1 to 200 Ωcm, at least a part of the bonding layer is made of a bonding material having conductive property, a volume resistivity of the bonding layer is from 2 to 2000 Ωcm, each of the pair of electrode members is formed into a band shape extending in an extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb segment bonded body, and in a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the cells, the one electrode member in the pair of electrode members is disposed on an opposite side across the center of the honeycomb segment bonded body with respect to another electrode member in the pair of electrode members, and in at least a part of the bonding layer, conductive inorganic fibers made of β-SiC and a metal silicide are included in a porous body where particles of silicon carbide as an aggregate are bound with silicon as a binding material in a state where pores are held among the particles.
