Abstract

and partition walls surrounding the plugged portions are unitarily formed. The production method includes a forming step, a plugging step for filling a plugging material, and a firing step. The plugging material contains solid particles capable of unitarily joining with at least one kind of solid particles contained in a forming raw material in a firing step. A ratio of a dimensional change (%) upon forming the partition walls out of the partition wall-forming material to a dimensional change (%) upon forming the plugged portions out of the plugging material is controlled to be within the range of 0.7% to 1.3 in the firing step. There is provided a plugged honeycomb structure having further improved strength, adhesion, and thermal shock resistance between partition walls and plugged portions and a production method thereof.
