AI Technical Summary
Existing aerosol-generating technologies face challenges in continuously and stably atomizing liquids with high viscosity without temperature rise or failure, particularly in ultrasonic and electrical heating systems, leading to inefficiencies and health risks from high-temperature vaporization.
A liquid-type inhalation formulation for surface wave atomizers, comprising propylene glycol, glycerin, and physiological saline, with a viscosity range of 1.0 to 120 mPa·s and a glycerin content of 50 wt%, which uses surface waves to stabilize atomization and facilitate pulmonary delivery.
Stable and continuous atomization is achieved across a wide viscosity range, reducing health risks and improving atomization efficiency, allowing for the use of functional materials and flavoring agents in aerosol generation.
