Abstract
A honeycomb structure includes: a periphery-ground article obtained by grinding an outer peripheral portion of a cell structurewhere honeycomb segmentsare bonded by a bonding layerat an outer wallof each of them, and an outer peripheral coat layerdisposed on an outer peripheral faceof the periphery-ground article; wherein at least one of the bonding layerand the outer peripheral coat layeris formed using honeycomb-forming slurry containing biologically soluble fibers containing a metal oxide capable of extricating a metal ion and an inorganic binder containing a colloidal oxide having modified silica sol manufactured by adding a substance containing amine or an aqueous solution of a water-soluble metalate of an amphoteric metal to silica sol. Crack generation of the outer peripheral coat layer and/or deterioration of bonding strength of the bonding layer can be inhibited.
