Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A honeycomb filter includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure having porous partition walls placed, surrounding a plurality of cells which serve as fluid through channels extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and porous plugging portions provided either at the ends on the inflow end face side of the cells or at the ends on the outflow end face side of the cells, wherein the plugging portions include plugging portions that have voids therein, and in the plugging portions having the voids, porosity including the voids as pores ranges from 68% to 83%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A honeycomb filter comprising: a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure having porous partition walls placed, surrounding a plurality of cells which serve as fluid through channels extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and porous plugging portions provided either at the ends on the inflow end face side of the cells or at the ends on the outflow end face side of the cells, wherein the plugging portions include plugging portions that have voids therein, in the plugging portions having the voids, porosity including the voids as pores ranges from 68% to 83%, the plugging portions having the voids exist only in a circumferential region in a section that is orthogonal to an extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure, and the circumferential region is a region that expands to an eighth cell counted toward a center of the section from a cell positioned at the outermost circumference of the honeycomb structure in the section of the honeycomb structure. 2. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plugging portions having the voids has at least one void, an inner diameter of which in a radial direction of an end face of the honeycomb filter ranges from 0.3 mm to 1.1 mm, and the inner diameter of which in the extending direction of the cells ranges from 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm. 3. The honeycomb filter according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the partition walls ranges from 50% to 70%.
