Abstract
A honeycomb structure has a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body having porous partition walls which defines cells which forms a passage of liquid extended from an inflow end face toward an outflow end face, a circumferential wall arranged to surround a circumference of the partition walls. The honeycomb structure body has an outermost circumference cell structure including a complete cell arranged at the outermost circumference of the honeycomb structure body, a center cell structure formed by the cells arranged at a center part at an inner side to the outermost circumference cell structure, and a boundary wall arranged at a boundary part between the outermost circumference cell structure and the center cell structure. The outermost circumference cell structure and the center cell structure are formed as different structures to each other, and a thickness of the boundary wall is set to be thicker than a thickness of the circumferential wall.
