Cellulose paper derived from plants has served as a carrier of cultural inheritance since it was invented 2000 years ago. It attracted more and more attentions in recent years working as a versatile platform to develop functional materials because of its good flexibility, sustainability, biodegradability, low cost and great capability to be modified. Once be functionalized, such as modified with stimuli-responsive polymers, small molecules or inorganic particles, papers may be sensitive to external stimuli from environments and consequently find applications in wide ranges including protein separation, controlled drug release, switchable surfaces, sensoring devices and smart substrates with various colors, etc. However, there are no reviews summarized the progress of such exciting research field. Here in this mini review, we discussed the advantages of cellulose paper as stimuli-responsive substrate and summarized the fabrication techniques, properties and applications of various stimuli-responsive papers reported to date which are triggered by temperature, pH, humidity, ions, light, magnetic field, solvent, gas and biomolecules. Additionally, challenges and outlooks of the future development of such materials were also given in the end.
植物纤维素纸自 2000 年前发明以来，一直作为文化传承的载体。近年来，由于其良好的柔韧性、可持续性、生物降解性、低成本和出色的可修饰性，它作为多功能平台来开发功能材料而引起了越来越多的关注。一旦功能化，例如用刺激响应聚合物、小分子或无机颗粒修饰，纸张可能会对环境的外部刺激敏感，并因此在包括蛋白质分离、控制药物释放、可切换表面、传感装置和具有各种颜色的智能基板等广泛领域中找到应用。然而，目前还没有综述总结这一令人兴奋的研究领域的进展。在这里的这篇小综述中，我们讨论了纤维素纸作为刺激响应基底的优势，并总结了迄今为止报道的各种刺激响应纸的制造技术、性能和应用，这些纸是由温度、pH 值、湿度、离子、光、磁场、溶剂、气体和生物分子触发的。此外，还在最后给出了这类材料未来发展的挑战和展望。
