AI Technical Summary
Existing aerosol-generating substrates, particularly cylindrical rods of plant material, face inefficiencies in aerosol generation and lack flexibility in shape and form, leading to uneven heating and waste of material, limiting their adaptability in various aerosol-generating articles and devices.
An aerosol-generating substrate comprising a cellulose-containing powder with at least 10% aerosol former, optionally with a binder, formed into beads with a channel through each body, allowing for flexible arrangement and improved aerosol release.
The bead-formulated substrate enhances aerosol delivery, particularly in early puffs, offers consistent nicotine-to-aerosol ratios, and adapts to various article designs, providing a superior consumer experience with reduced environmental impact.
