AI Technical Summary
Existing aerosol-generating materials, such as those used in heat-not-burn devices and hybrid devices, face challenges in efficiently forming non-linear strands that provide high packing efficiency and reduced weight, which affects transportation and material costs.
The development of an aerosol-generating material in the form of non-linear strands, comprising an aerosol-generating agent, crosslinked binder, and optionally fillers, flavorants, and acids, formed through a process involving a solvent mixture ejected through a nozzle and contacted with a cross-linking agent to create non-linear strands with higher fill value.
The non-linear strands achieve a higher fill value compared to conventional materials, reducing overall weight and volume, leading to lower transportation and material costs, while maintaining chemical composition and aerosol generation efficiency.
