  • the fourth portion 240 may include the filter element, and the filter element may include a CA tow having a denier per filament of 17 to 29 and a total denier of 10,000 to 40,000.
  • the CA tow refers to an article formed by appropriately processing CA for forming a filter of the aerosol generating article. That is, the CA tow is CA made as thin fibers, and a thickness of the CA fibers affects physical factors such as the absorption resistance, a rigid circumference, etc. of the aerosol generating article.
  • a CA tow used for a filter of a previous general combustion cigarette may have a denier per filament of 3.0 to 6.0, and a CA tow used for a filter of a common heated cigarette may have a denier per filament of 9.0 in general.
  • the CA tow included in the filter element according to an embodiment may have a greater denier per filament and a greater total denier than the CA tow used in the previous general heated cigarette. Due to the increase of the denier per filament of fibers included in the CA tow, the fibers become thicker, and in the case of a tow having thicker fibers, more empty spaces are formed between the fibers than in the case of a tow having thinner fibers, and thus, the absorption resistance and an aerosol removal capacity of the filter may be reduced. Thus, when the filter including the CA tow according to an embodiment is used, the amount of smoke inhaled by a user may be increased.
  • the CA tow may have a denier per filament of 18 to 23 and a total denier of 15,000 to 35,000.
  • the absorption resistance and the aerosol removal capacity of the filter may be reduced, and at the same time, smoking satisfaction experienced by the user during smoking, with respect to a hitting sense, a harmonious flavor, stimulation, a sense of fulfillment, etc. may be increased
  • the fourth portion 240 includes the CA tow of 320 to 510 mg.
  • the fourth portion 240 of the aerosol generating article 200 may include the CA tow having relatively thick fibers, and thus, even when a greater amount of tow than the previous CA tow having relatively thin fibers is injected, a low absorption resistance may be maintained. Because a relatively greater amount of CA tow may be included in the fourth portion 240 of the aerosol generating article 200, the roundness and the rigidity of the fourth portion 240 may be increased.
  • the fourth portion 240 of the aerosol generating article 200 according to an embodiment may have a roundness that is greater than or equal to 93% and a rigidity that is greater than or equal to 95%.
  • the roundness denotes a degree of roundness of a cross-section of the fourth portion 240 and may be measured by a well-known art.
  • the roundness of the cross-section of the fourth portion 240 may be measured by using a comparator, etc. by rotating the fourth portion 240 after supporting the central portion of the fourth portion 240, and an error of a radius may be obtained based on the movement of the measurer.
  • the rigidity is a property related to elasticity and resilience of the fourth portion 240 and denotes a degree of resistance to the pressure applied in a vertical direction of the longitudinal direction of the fourth portion 240.
  • the aerosol generating article 200 includes the CA tow that is less than 320 mg, a recess phenomenon in which the CA tow located at the central portion of the cross-section of the fourth portion 240 is recessed in the longitudinal direction of the fourth portion 240 may occur.
  • the aerosol generating article 200 includes the CA tow that is greater than 510 mg, the amount of CA tow may become excessive, and thus, a wrapping state using the wrapper 250 is inferior or the wrapper 250 is damaged, and a standard deviation of results of repeated measurements of the absorption resistance is too high, and thus, it is difficult to provide the uniform performance.
  • a circumference of the cross-section of the fourth portion 240, the cross-section being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the aerosol generating article 200, may be 14 to 25 mm.
  • the aerosol generating article 200 may include the CA tow having relatively thick fibers, and thus, the rigidity of the aerosol generating article 200 may be improved.
  • the circumferential range described above corresponds to a relatively smaller numerical value compared to a circumference of a cross-section of a general aerosol generating article 200.
  • the rigidity of the fourth portion 240 and the aerosol generating article 200 may be improved to maintain the shape of the fourth portion 240 and the aerosol generating article 200, and thus, the usability may be secured.
  • An absorption resistance of the fourth portion 240 may be 0.5 mmH 2 O to 2.5 mmH 2 O.
  • the fourth portion 240 of the aerosol generating article 200 may include the CA tow having relatively thick fibers, and thus, a low absorption resistance may be realized.
  • the corresponding absorption resistance may provide satisfaction to the user by preventing an excessive force from being taken to absorb aerosol when the user uses the aerosol generating article 200.
  • the aerosol generating article 200 according to an embodiment not only may have the low absorption resistance, but also may maintain the rigidity by including the tow including thick fibers, which allows the usability to be secured.
  • a tensile strength of the CA tow may be less than about 3.5 kgf, and more desirably, may be equal to or less than about 3.0 kgf. Due to relatively thick fibers of the CA tow according to an embodiment, a yield rate of the CA tow according to an embodiment may be improved at a tensile strength that is less than about 3.5 kgf. When the tensile strength of the CA tow is equal to or greater than about 3.5 kgf, due to thick fibers, a folding property may become insufficient during a process of crimping the tow, and a mass production may become difficult.
  • the second portion 220 may further include an aerosol generating element, wherein the second portion 220 may include the aerosol generating element in 10 weight percent (wt%) or less with respect to a dry weight of an aerosol generating material.
  • the first portion 210 may include the aerosol generating element in 65 to 95 wt% with respect to the dry weight of the aerosol generating material.
  • the filter including the CA tow according to an embodiment may have a low aerosol removal capacity, and thus, even when a relatively small amount of aerosol generating element is included in the first portion 210 and the second portion 220, a sufficient amount of smoke and satisfaction may be provided to the user.
  • the second portion 220 may further include an aerosol generating element, wherein the second portion 220 may include the aerosol generating element in 3 wt% or less with respect to a dry weight of an aerosol generating material. Also, the first portion 210 may include the aerosol generating element in 65 to 80 wt% with respect to the dry weight of the aerosol generating material.

  • the quality factor of the operation is a value evaluated with respect to whether a wrapping operation using the wrapper in the process of forming the filter is processed well.
  • Embodiment 2-3 in which the tow weight is 350 mg, a recess phenomenon in which the CA tow in the central portion of the cross-section of the filter is recessed in a longitudinal direction of the filter occurs, and because the amount of injected CA tow is excessively low, the wrapping state using the wrapper is bad. Also, in the case of Embodiment 2-4 in which the tow weight is 506 mg, the filter is not formed to have a uniform cross-section, and because the amount of injected CA tow is excessively high, the wrapping state using the wrapper is bad.
  • a common CA tow used for a filter of a heated cigarette is used.
  • a filter including the CA tow of Comparative Embodiment 1 is formed under a condition shown in Table 2 below. Also, like Embodiments 2-1 through 2-4, the quality factor of a cross-section of the filter and the quality factor of an operation in a process of forming the filter are evaluated and described in Table 2 below.
  • Embodiment 2-1 and Embodiment 2-2 are 106.3 and 88.1 mmH 2 O, respectively, which are lower than the absorption resistance of Comparative Embodiment 2.
  • the roundness and the rigidity of Embodiment 2-1 and Embodiment 2-2 maintain a similar level to those of Comparative Embodiment 2.
  • Embodiment 2-3 and Embodiment 2-4 have absorption resistances proportional to the weights of the injected tow. Also, as expected from the evaluation of the quality factor of the cross-section of the filter and the quality factor of the operation described above, the roundness is decreased, and the wrapping state using the wrapper is bad, and thus, it is impossible to measure the rigidity.
  • An aerosol generating article is formed by using the filters of Embodiment 2-1, Embodiment 2-2, and Comparative Embodiment 2.
