About

Xabier Lopez de Pariza is an emerging materials scientist and engineer whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of additive manufacturing, smart materials, and sustainable polymer chemistry. His work addresses one of 3D printing's most pressing challenges: moving beyond the conventional "one-polymer-one-property" paradigm to create versatile, multifunctional printed materials. In a landmark 2025 study (15 citations), he demonstrated fully recyclable pluripotent networks enabled by dissociative dynamic bonds, advancing the circularity of complex 3D-printed structures. His 2024 research on piezoionic sensors (12 citations) showcased how dynamic covalent bonds can be harnessed to produce flexible, lightweight sensing platforms with compelling applications in wearable health monitoring and soft robotics. Complementing this, his investigation into photobase-catalyzed thiol–ene click chemistry (10 citations) opened new pathways for light-based additive manufacturing, offering a compelling alternative to conventional radical polymerization methods and expanding the material toolkit for next-generation electronic devices. Across his body of work, Lopez de Pariza consistently bridges fundamental polymer chemistry with real-world engineering applications, establishing himself as a thoughtful innovator in the rapidly evolving field of sustainable and functional additive manufacturing.
