  • Patent number: 11883770
    Abstract: In a porous composite, a base material has a honeycomb structure whose inside is partitioned into a plurality of cells. In the plurality of cells, a plurality of first cells whose one ends in the longitudinal direction are sealed, and a plurality of second cells whose other ends in the longitudinal direction are sealed are arranged alternately. A collection layer covers inner surfaces of the plurality of first cells. An overall Sa that is an arithmetical mean height Sa indicating a surface roughness of a surface of the collection layer in the plurality of first cells is greater than or equal to 0.1 ?m and less than or equal to 12 ?m. An overall mean thickness that is a mean thickness of the collection layer in the plurality of first cells is greater than or equal to 10 ?m and less than or equal to 40 ?m.

  • Patent number: 11273404
    Abstract: A porous composite includes a porous base material and a porous collection layer formed on the base material. The collection layer has a thickness greater than or equal to 6 ?m. The collection layer has a plurality of large pores, each exposing the surface of the base material. A sum of areas of exposed regions of the base material that are each exposed from each large pore of the plurality of large pores is greater than or equal to 1% of the total area of the collection layer and less than or equal to 30% thereof. This allows the porous composite to achieve a favorable efficiency of collecting particulate matter and to increase the accessible area between the particulate matter and the collection layer and thereby accelerate oxidation of the particulate matter collected by the porous composite.
