Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a cationically polymerizable first epoxide and a second epoxide. The first epoxide is a glycidyl epoxide and the second epoxide further comprises a glycidyl epoxide and/or a non-glycidyl epoxide. The disclosed composition further comprises an initiator and a filler, where the composition upon external stimulus undergoes an ionic polymerization reaction in a spatially propagating reaction front or in a global reaction that occurs throughout an entire composition.

Abstract: The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, and methods of making the products. The products include a plurality of granules, the granules including at least one filler; at least one sugar alcohol; a cellulose ether, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or a combination thereof; and at least one active ingredient, at least one flavorant, or a combination thereof. The products may be in a granular form, or in the form of a tablet or pellet.

Abstract: A pouched product including an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity and a composition configured for oral use situated within the cavity is provided. The composition is at least partially orally dissolvable, and includes one or more dissolvable fillers in an amount of at least about 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; a humectant in an amount up to about 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; and at least one active ingredient, at least one flavorant, or both at least one active ingredient and at least one flavorant.

Abstract: Products configured for oral use and methods for preparing such products are provided. In particular, such products may be provided in the form of a lozenge. In some embodiments, oral products described herein may include a first sugar substitute in an amount of at least about 80 weight percent, a basic amine, and an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, or a combination thereof. In one or more embodiments, at least a portion of the basic amine is associated with at least a portion of the organic acid or the alkali metal salt thereof, the association in the form of a basic amine-organic acid salt, an ion pair between the basic amine and a conjugate base of the organic acid, or both.

Abstract: An oral product in the form of an edible film is provided herein. The edible film can include a binder in an amount of at least about 30 percent by weight; a plasticizer in an amount of at least about 5 percent by weight; and an active agent, wherein the edible film is orally dissolvable. The edible film can also be used as a component of another oral product, e.g., a fleece-based pouched product. The edible film can form a coating on a portion of an interior or exterior surface of a fleece-based pouched product.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a first low molecular weight molecule that is radically polymerizable; a second low molecular weight molecule that is ionically polymerizable; and an initiator package that comprises a free radical initiator, an ionic accelerator and an ionic initiator; where the first low molecular weight molecule undergoes a radical polymerization reaction when subjected to a first form of activation stimuli and where the second low molecular weight molecule undergoes an ionic polymerization reaction in a spatially propagating reaction front or in a global reaction that occurs throughout the entire composition; where the ionic polymerization is initiated by a second form of activation stimuli.

Abstract: A method of incorporating a flavor material into combination with a tobacco product is described herein. The method may include accessing a flavor delivery insert of a flavor additive accessory, associating the flavor delivery insert with at least one of the tobacco product and a package containing the tobacco product, and actively or passively releasing the flavor material from the flavor delivery insert such that the flavor material is incorporated with the tobacco product. Also described herein are flavor delivery inserts, tobacco products having flavor delivery inserts, and flavor additive accessories having flavor delivery inserts.

Abstract: A smokeless tobacco gel product is providing, including a tobacco material in an amount of at least about 0.01 weight percent, based on the total weight of the smokeless tobacco gel product; at least about 50 percent by weight of one or more sugar alcohols; a humectant in an amount of at least about 0.1 weight percent; and water in an amount of at least about 10 weight percent. The tobacco material (e.g., particulate tobacco or a tobacco extract such as tobacco-derived nicotine) can be present in an amount of about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent. The humectant amount can be varied to vary the properties of the gel product, with more paste-like consistency achieved with a humectant amount of at least about 7 weight percent, and more syrup-like consistency achieved with a humectant amount of less than about 6 weight percent.
