Abstract

Aerosol-generating article ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod, the plurality of elements comprising an aerosol-forming substrate element ( 20 ), with an aerosol-forming substrate bulk ( 22 ) and with a susceptor material ( 25 ) arranged within the aerosol-forming substrate element, wherein the susceptor material comprises an aerosol-forming substrate coating ( 21 ).

Claims (17)

1. Aerosol-generating article comprising a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod, the plurality of elements comprising an aerosol-forming substrate element, with an aerosol-forming substrate bulk and with a susceptor material arranged within the aerosol-forming substrate element, wherein the susceptor material comprises an aerosol-forming substrate coating.

2. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the susceptor material is a plurality of susceptor particles.

3. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the susceptor material is an elongate susceptor arranged longitudinally within the aerosol-forming substrate element.

4. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 3 , wherein the elongate susceptor is arranged radially centrally within the aerosol-forming substrate element.

5. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 3 , wherein the elongate susceptor has a flat shape forming two large sides, and wherein the aerosol-forming substrate coating is provided on at least one of the two large sides of the elongate susceptor.

6. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 5 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate coating is provided on both of the two large sides of the elongate susceptor.

7. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the susceptor material is entirely coated with the aerosol-forming substrate coating.

8. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the aerosol-forming substrate coating is between 50 micrometer and 120 micrometer.

9. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate coating on the susceptor material is performed by one of deposition, dip-coating, spraying, painting or casting of an aerosol-forming substrate slurry onto an uncoated susceptor material.

10. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the susceptor material comprises a surface area of at least 30 mm 2 , which is coated with the aerosol-forming substrate coating.

11. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the aerosol-forming substrate bulk and the aerosol-forming substrate coating comprises tobacco material.

12. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate bulk comprises a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material.

13. Aerosol-generating system comprising:

an aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 ; and

a power source connected to a load network, the load network comprising an inductor for being inductively coupled to the susceptor material of the aerosol-generating article.

14. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 4 , wherein the elongate susceptor has a flat shape forming two large sides, and wherein the aerosol-forming substrate coating is provided on at least one of the two large sides of the elongate susceptor.

15. Aerosol-generating article according to claim 14 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate coating is provided on both of the two large sides of the elongate susceptor.
