Abstract
An aerosol generating substrate comprising an aerosol generating material. The aerosol generating material comprises an amorphous solid which comprises 1-60 wt % of a gelling agent, 5-80 wt % of an aerosol generating agent and optionally 0.1-60 wt % of at least one active substance and/or flavorant (dry weight basis). The amorphous solid comprises from about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % water, calculated on a wet weight basis.
Claims20
An aerosol generating substrate comprising an aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material comprising an amorphous solid, wherein the amorphous solid comprises:
- 1-60 wt % of a gelling agent;
- and
- 5-80 wt % of an aerosol generating agent;
- and optionally, 0.1-60 wt % of at least one active substance and/or flavorant;
- wherein these weights are calculated on a dry weight basis;
- and wherein the amorphous solid comprises from about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % water, calculated on a wet weight basis.
A method of making an aerosol generating substrate comprising an aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material comprising an amorphous solid, the method comprising:
- (a) forming a slurry comprising components of the amorphous solid or precursors thereof;
- (b) forming a layer of the slurry;
- (c) setting the layer of the slurry to form a gel;
- and
- (d) drying the gel layer to form an amorphous solid, wherein the amorphous solid comprises 1-60 wt % of a gelling agent, 5-80 wt % of an aerosol generating agent, optionally 0.1-60 wt % of at least one active substance and/or flavorant, wherein these weights are calculated on a dry weight basis, and wherein the amorphous solid comprises from about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % water, calculated on a wet weight basis.
An aerosol generating article for use in an aerosol generating assembly, the article comprising an aerosol generating substrate comprising an aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material comprising an amorphous solid, wherein the amorphous solid comprises a gelling agent and one or more flavorant, the one or more flavorant being present in an amount of from 1 wt % to 80 wt % of the amorphous solid by dry weight, and wherein the amorphous solid comprises from about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % water, calculated on a wet weight basis.
