Bioactive paper includes a range of potential paper-based materials that can perform analytical functions normally reserved for multi-well plates in the laboratory or for portable electronic devices. Pathogen detection is the most compelling application. Simple paper-based detection, not requiring hardware, has the potential to have impacts in society, ranging from the kitchen to disasters in the developing world. Bioactive-paper research is an emerging field with significant efforts in Canada, USA (Harvard), Finland and Australia. Following a brief introduction to the material and surface properties of paper, I review the literature. Some of the early work exploits the porosity of paper to generate paper-based microfluidics ("paperfluidics") devices. I exclude from this review printed electronic devices and plastics-supported devices.
生物活性纸包括一系列潜在的纸质材料,这些材料能够执行通常在实验室中由多孔板或便携式电子设备完成的分析功能。病原体检测是最具吸引力的应用。基于纸张的简单检测无需硬件设备,有可能在社会上产生影响,范围从厨房到发展中国家的灾害应对。生物活性纸研究是一个新兴领域,加拿大、美国(哈佛大学)、芬兰和澳大利亚都在大力开展相关工作。在简要介绍纸张的材料和表面特性之后,我将对相关文献进行综述。一些早期的研究利用纸张的孔隙率制造基于纸张的微流体(“纸流体”)装置。我将印刷电子设备和塑料支撑设备排除在本次综述之外。
