The investigation of biobased systems as photocurable resins for optical 3D printing has attracted great attention in recent years; therefore, novel vanillin acrylate‐based resins were designed and investigated. Cross‐linked polymers were prepared by radical photopolymerization of vanillin derivatives (vanillin dimethacrylate and vanillin diacrylate) using ethyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphinate as photoinitiator. The changes of rheological properties were examined during the curing with ultraviolet/visible irradiation to detect the influences of solvent, photoinitiator, and vanillin derivative on cross‐linking rate and network formation. Vanillin diacrylate‐based polymers had higher values of yield of insoluble fraction, thermal stability, and better mechanical properties in comparison to vanillin dimethacrylate‐based polymers. Moreover, the vanillin diacrylate polymer film showed a significant antimicrobial effect, only a bit weaker than that of chitosan film. Thermal and mechanical properties of vanillin acrylate‐based polymers were comparable with those of commercial petroleum‐derived materials used in optical 3D printing. Also, vanillin diacrylate proved to be well‐suited for optical printing as was demonstrated by employing direct laser writing 3D lithography and microtransfer molding techniques.
