Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rod is provided, formed from a first sheet including an aerosol-forming material and a second sheet including a non-tobacco material, the first and second sheets being gathered together and circumscribed by a wrapper. The rod may be used as a component part of an aerosol-generating article. The second sheet preferably includes a material configured to modify an aerosol evolved from the aerosol-forming material or to modify other properties of the rod.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising an electrically-operated aerosol-generating apparatus and an aerosol-generating article for use with the apparatus, the aerosol-generating article comprising an aerosol-forming substrate comprising, a rod comprising a first sheet comprising aerosol-forming material, and a second sheet of non-tobacco material, wherein the first sheet is a sheet of homogenized tobacco material; the first sheet and the second sheet are constricted substantially around a longitudinal axis of the rod by a converging funnel such that the first sheet and the second sheet assume a substantially cylindrical configuration; and the first sheet and the second sheet are circumscribed by a wrapper. 2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises a functional component for modifying an aerosol evolved from the first sheet of aerosol-forming material. 3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet is a polymeric or paper sheet. 4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises an adsorbent material for adsorbing phenolic compounds. 5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises a biodegradable polymer. 6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises carbon. 7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises a humectant. 8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sheet and the second sheet is crimped. 9. The system according to claim 1 , comprising at least one sheet of tobacco material and at least two sheets of non-tobacco material. 10. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet comprises polylactic acid.
