An object of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb structured body that can support a catalyst supporting carrier and a catalyst so as to prevent the increase in pressure loss, has a good contact with an exhaust gas and the like and can allow the catalyst to sufficiently exert its functions, and the honeycomb structured body of the present invention is a honeycomb structured body in which a plurality of porous ceramic members are combined with one another through an adhesive layer, each of the porous ceramic members having a plurality of cells which are allowed to penetrate in a longitudinal direction with a wall portion therebetween and either one end of which is sealed, with a catalyst supporting layer being adhered to the wall portion, wherein an average pore diameter of the porous ceramic member is larger than an average particle diameter of particles constituting the catalyst supporting layer, and when a pore diameter distribution of the porous ceramic member and a particle diameter distribution of particles constituting the catalyst supporting layer are drawn with the pore diameter and the particle diameter being on the same axis, a pore volume in an overlapped area of both the distributions is 10% or less to the entire pore volume of the porous ceramic member. |
