accentuated tobacco articles for releasing additives embedded within electrorepowered microfibers and nanofibres and related methods

摘要

FILTER COMPONENT FOR A SMOKE ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME. The present invention relates to a filter member 83 for a smoke article 81 comprising an electro-spun fiber comprising at least one type of flavoring and / or non-flavoring additive and at least one type of pleximeter. A wide variety of electro-pulled fibers can be produced to encapsulate a wide variety of additives within the sub-compartments or substructures of the manufactured electro-pulled fiber. In addition, fabricated elongated fibers may be electrostatically disposed within a filter member of a smoke article during the manufacturing process. By modifying the various parameters that control the electro-pulling process, a diverse set of electro-pulling fibers can be manufactured which vary in composition, sub-structural organization and size. The electro-pulled fiber produced by electro-pulling comprises at least one type of polymeric material that encapsulates or supports retention of at least one type of a flavoring or non-flavoring within the electro-drawn fiber. A polymeric material provides a support structure for encapsulating at least one type of a flavoring or non-flavoring one. The electro-spun fibers that can be produced by various electro-spun processes described below include microfibres in a microscale range, nanofibers in a nanoscale range, and various microfiber and nanofiber mixtures.
