AI Technical Summary
Existing aerosol generating devices often cause substantial thermal decomposition of plant materials during heating, leading to the production of combustion byproducts and inefficient release of desired compounds.
A capsule design for aerosol generating devices featuring a corrugated heater supported by an inner frame, with plant material on either side, and a waveform configuration that extends across the opening, allowing for controlled heating below the combustion point to release compounds like nicotine and cannabinoids without significant thermal decomposition.
The capsule design effectively generates aerosols with minimal thermal decomposition, ensuring efficient release of compounds like nicotine and cannabinoids while maintaining the integrity of the plant material.
