<p>A method of manufacturing a honeycomb structure including a plurality of honeycomb units, the honeycomb units each containing inorganic particles and having a plurality of cells extending from a first end face to a second end face of the honeycomb unit along a longitudinal direction thereof and separated by a plurality of cell walls, is characterized by the steps of (a) preparing the honeycomb units each having at least one joining surface on which adhesive layer paste is to be provided; (b) impregnating at least a part of the at least one joining surface of each of the honeycomb units with water; (c) preparing the adhesive layer paste containing at least inorganic particles, a binder, and water; (d) applying the adhesive layer paste on the at least one joining surface of at least one of the honeycomb units and joining the honeycomb units to each other; and (e) forming an adhesive layer by drying, degreasing, and solidifying the adhesive layer paste, wherein the inorganic particles of the honeycomb units have a specific surface area of 50 m 2 /g or more, and the water with which at least the part of the at least one joining surface of each of the honeycomb units is impregnated in step (b) is removed in step (e).</p> |
