  • an aerosol-generating article refers to an article for producing an aerosol.
  • An aerosol-generating article typically comprises an aerosol-forming substrate that is suitable and intended to be heated or combusted in order to release volatile compounds that can form an aerosol.
  • a conventional cigarette is lit when a user applies a flame to one end of the cigarette and draws air through the other end. The localised heat provided by the flame and the oxygen in the air drawn through the cigarette causes the end of the cigarette to ignite, and the resulting combustion generates an inhalable smoke.
  • heated aerosol-generating articles include, for example, electrically heated aerosol-generating articles.
  • aerosol-forming substrate refers to a substrate that is capable of producing upon heating volatile compounds, which can form an aerosol.

  • the aerosol-forming substrates of Examples A, B, C, D and E are heated to a temperature of between about 375 degrees Celsius.
  • the nicotine and glycerine contained in the film evaporate.
  • the nicotine and glycerine condense to form an inhalable aerosol.
  • the aerosol can then be inhaled by a user.
  • the aerosol-forming substrates shrink slightly and their volumes are reduced. However, the film remains solid and maintains its film form.
  • the aerosol-forming substrates appear to harden slightly and to take on a darker, brownish colour.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example A includes a combination of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and a cellulose based strengthening agent.
  • the cellulose based strengthening agent is cellulose fibres.

  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example C includes a combination of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and a cellulose based strengthening agent.
  • the cellulose based strengthening agent is cellulose fibres.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example C contains fewer cellulose fibres than the aerosol-forming substrate of Example A.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example C includes agar rather than sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example C also includes glycerine.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example D includes a combination of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and two cellulose based strengthening agents.
  • the cellulose based strengthening agents are cellulose fibres and microcrystalline cellulose.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example D contains fewer cellulose fibres than the aerosol-forming substrate of Example A.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example D includes agar rather than sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example D also includes glycerine.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example E includes a combination of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and a cellulose based strengthening agent.
  • the cellulose based strengthening agent is cellulose powder.

  • the carboxylic acid is lactic acid.
  • the effect of the components of the above Examples A, B, C and D, including the effect of the cellulose based strengthening agents, will now be shown by comparison to an example of a comparative aerosol-forming substrate.
  • the comparative aerosol-forming substrate includes 25.53 percent by weight hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, 6.38 percent by weight agar, and 63.81 percent by weight glycerine.
  • Table 2 shows a comparison of tensile strength between the five example formulations of the aerosol-forming substrate (Examples A, B, C and D), and the comparative example.
  • the tensile strength of the example formulations and the comparative formulation is measured by using the conventional method of stretching a given size of a test specimen of each formulation at a constant rate of elongation until it ruptures.
  • a tensile strength testing instrument is attached to the test specimen, which provides a measure of the fracture force when the formulation ruptures.
  • the tensile strength of a test specimen is derived from the fracture force at rupture divided by the width of the specimen.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example A provides an increase in tensile strength of 256 N/m compared to the comparative example. This is a 61% increase in tensile strength.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example B provides an increase in tensile strength of 1159 N/m compared to the comparative example. This is a 275% increase in tensile strength.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example C provides an increase in tensile strength of 409 N/m compared to the comparative example. This is a 97% increase in tensile strength.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate of Example D provides an increase in tensile strength of 778 N/m compared to the comparative example. This is a 185% increase in tensile strength.
  • the aerosol-forming substrates of Examples A, B, C and D all show large increases in tensile strength compared to the comparative example.
  • the present inventors have found that this increase in the tensile strength of the aerosol-forming substrate may provide a number of advantages, particularly relating to the subsequent processing steps of manufacturing an aerosol-generating article that contains the aerosol-forming substrate.
  • an aerosol-forming substrate is made, it is typically rolled onto a bobbin.
  • An increase in the tensile strength of the aerosol-forming substrate may reduce breakage of the aerosol-forming substrate due to tension when it is transferred to the bobbin.
  • the subsequent manufacturing step usually involves unwinding the aerosol-forming substrate from the bobbin, and then crimping the aerosol-forming substrate using crimping rollers.
  • An increase in the tensile strength of the aerosol-forming substrate may reduce breakage during the crimping process.
  • Reduced breakage of the aerosol-forming substrate during subsequent processing steps may reduce wastage of aerosol-forming substrate during the process of manufacturing an aerosol-generating article containing the aerosol-forming substrate.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate breaks during the processing steps then there may be loss of manufacturing time and so increased tensile strength of the aerosol-forming substrate may improve manufacturing time.
  • Examples C and D exhibit a high increase in tensile strength
  • Examples C and D may cause crusting on a part of an aerosol-generating article containing the aerosol-forming substrate because they contain agar.
  • the present inventors believe that the agar melts when it is heated (for example by an aerosol-generating device). The melted agar can form agglomerate and form around the part of the aerosol-generating article. After the aerosol-generating article stops being heated, the melted agar may then cool and solidify as a crust.
  • the aerosol-forming substrates of Examples A and B do not contain agar. Instead, the aerosol-forming substrates of Examples A and B contain sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • the present inventors have found that an aerosol-forming substrate containing a carboxymethyl cellulose instead of agar has reduced crusting. Indeed, in some examples, the present inventors have found that using a carboxymethyl cellulose instead of agar may completely eliminate the problem of crusting. Reducing and eliminating crusting, particularly crusting on a susceptor, may lead to an increased level of nicotine being delivered to a user, and an increased volume of aerosol being generated from the aerosol-forming substrate.
