Abstract: A particulate filter for exhaust-gas aftertreatment in an internal combustion engine has a housing on which an inlet and an outlet are configured on opposite ends. The particulate filter also has a filter element arranged in the housing, said filter element having essentially parallel filter channels that are each alternatingly closed on the inlet side or on the outlet side by a closure in order to prevent gas from passing directly through the filter element. In this context, the filter channels can be divided into a first group of filter channels which are closed on the outlet side by a closure, and into a second group of filter channels which are closed on the inlet side by a gas-tight closure. The filter channels of the second group are additionally closed on the outlet side by a high-porosity closure in order to improve the cleaning effect of the particulate filter.
