Abstract
Description
Abstract: An aerosol generating article (10) is provided for use with an aerosol generating apparatus (90) to generate aerosols. The aerosol generating article (10) includes a first planar outer surface (21) and a second planar outer surface (22). The aerosol generating article (10) includes a cavity (30). The aerosol generating article (10) includes a frame (50) positioned between the first planar outer surface (21) and the second planar outer surface (22). The frame (50) at least partially defines the cavity (30). The aerosol generating article (10) includes one or more aerosol generating matrices (40, 41, 42). The aerosol generating article (10) has a length between (15) mm and (45) mm, a width between (5) mm and (15) mm, and a thickness between (1) mm and (5) mm. Also provided are an aerosol generating apparatus (90) for use with an aerosol generating article (10), an aerosol generating system including the aerosol generating apparatus (90) and the aerosol generating article (10), and a method of manufacturing (1100) the aerosol generating article (10).
