Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aerosol source member for use with an inductive heating aerosol delivery device, a method of manufacturing an aerosol source member for use with an inductive heating aerosol delivery device, and an aerosol delivery device are provided. The aerosol source member comprises a substrate portion comprising at least one substrate material and at least one resonant receiver comprising at least one susceptor material. At least a portion of the resonant receiver is configured to be positioned within a control body of the aerosol delivery device, the control body comprising at least one resonant transmitter, the susceptor material is configured to be inductively heated by the at least one resonant transmitter, and the substrate portion is formed using additive manufacturing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of manufacturing an aerosol source member, the method comprising: providing at least one substrate material; providing at least one resonant receiver comprising at least one susceptor material; mixing the at least one susceptor material with the at least one substrate material; and forming a substrate portion comprising both the at least one substrate material and the at least one resonant receiver comprising at least one susceptor material using additive manufacturing. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one susceptor material comprises a carbonaceous material. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the carbonaceous material comprises a granular carbonaceous material. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate portion comprises two or more substrate materials. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate portion comprises two or more susceptor materials. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of forming a substrate portion comprises forming a substrate portion comprising two or more segments. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein each segment includes a different aerosol precursor composition. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one susceptor material and the at least one substrate material comprise layers in the substrate portion. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one susceptor material and the at least one substrate material comprise layers in the substrate portion, and wherein the at least one susceptor material layer and the at least one substrate material layer are formed in an alternating pattern. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the susceptor material to the substrate material is even.
