20080292843 | HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE AND EXHAUST GAS PURIFYING DEVICE - A honeycomb structure is a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure in which a plurality of cells, separated from each other by a cell wall, are formed in a longitudinal direction. When the honeycomb structure is divided into two portions by a plane in parallel with either one of end faces in the longitudinal direction of the honeycomb structure so that apparent volumes of the respective two portions become equal to each other, the respective two portions have apparent densities different from each other. | 11-27-2008 |
