Abstract:
The honeycomb structure includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body that includes a porous partition wall. When the thickness (μm) of the partition wall is defined as T1 and, among pores formed in the partition wall, the value of an average pore diameter (μm) of specific pores whose pore diameters measured by a mercury press-in method are 20 to 100 μm is defined as D(20 to 100), T1/D(20 to 100) that is a value obtained by dividing T1 by D(20 to 100) is not less than 2.4, a ratio of a pore volume of the specific pores to an overall pore volume of the partition wall is 5 to 45%, and a ratio of a pore volume of large pores whose pore diameters are not less than 100 μm to the overall pore volume of the partition wall is not more than 5%.
