Susceptor assembly comprising one or more composite susceptor particles

Abstract

A susceptor assembly is provided for inductively heating an aerosol-forming substrate under an influence of an alternating magnetic field, the susceptor assembly including: one or more composite susceptor particles, each one of the one or more composite susceptor particles including a particle core and a particle shell entirely encapsulating the particle core, in which the particle core includes or is made of a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic core material having a relative magnetic permeability of at least 200 for frequencies up to 10 kHz at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, and in which the particle shell includes or is made of an electrically conductive shell material. An aerosol-generating article for an inductively heating aerosol-generating device, and an aerosol-generating system including an aerosol-generating article, are also provided.
