<p>A honeycomb structure has a plurality of honeycomb segments each including porous partition walls that define a plurality of cells communicating with two end surfaces and an outer wall that surrounds the partition walls. The honeycomb segments are combined in a direction perpendicular to the axial directions of the honeycomb segments, and the outer walls of the honeycomb segments are integrally joined by a joint material. The outer wall of each honeycomb segment has corners. A cell in contact with the inner surface of a portion of the outer wall having one of the corners is defined by a plurality of sides including two sides formed by the inner surface and two sides each having one end in contact with the inner surface. An angle ¸a of the corner formed by the two sides each having the one end in contact with the inner surface is 100 to 150°.</p> |
