About
Jakob Strasser is a leading figure in advanced polymer chemistry and additive manufacturing, whose work bridges the gap between sustainable materials and high-resolution 3D printing. His most impactful research centers on the development of vitrimers—a class of dynamic covalent polymer networks that combine the durability of thermosets with the reprocessability of thermoplastics. Strasser’s seminal 2021 paper, “High resolution additive manufacturing with acrylate based vitrimers using organic phosphates as transesterification catalyst,” has garnered 65 citations and stands as a cornerstone in the field. In this work, he pioneered the use of organic phosphates as efficient transesterification catalysts, enabling the creation of acrylate-based vitrimers that can be printed at high resolution while retaining the ability to be reshaped, repaired, or recycled. This breakthrough addresses a critical challenge in sustainable manufacturing, offering a path toward reducing plastic waste in high-precision applications. Strasser’s contributions have been recognized for their potential to revolutionize industries from biomedical devices to aerospace, and his ongoing research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with responsive, reprocessable materials.
