Abstract
A honeycomb structure obtained by bonding, into one piece, a plurality of honeycomb segments () each having a plurality of passages () surrounded by cell walls and extending in the axial direction of the segment. In the honeycomb structure, a material A () having compressive elasticity is provided at least at a portion of the gaps formed by each two faces of adjacent honeycomb segments (). A honeycomb structure assembly () obtained by providing a material B () having compressive elasticity on the outer peripheral portion of the above honeycomb structure in a compressed state and thereby compression-holding the honeycomb structure in a metallic container (). The honeycomb structure and the honeycomb structure assembly have good durability and resistance to heat or vibration, applied during their use.
