About
Nicoleta-Elisabeta Pascu is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of additive manufacturing, tribology, and materials engineering. Her primary focus is on understanding the friction and wear behavior of 3D-printed plastics, a critical area for advancing industrial applications like robotic grippers, where lightweight and durable materials are increasingly replacing traditional metals. Pascu’s most cited paper, “Comparative Examination of Friction Between Additive Manufactured Plastics and Steel Surface” (2023, 6 citations), provides foundational insights into how these innovative materials interact with steel surfaces, offering practical guidance for optimizing performance in real-world settings. By systematically comparing different plastic types and printing parameters, she has helped bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial implementation. While her citation count is still growing, her work is particularly notable for addressing a timely need—the shift toward sustainable, cost-effective materials in manufacturing. Pascu’s contributions are especially valuable for engineers and researchers exploring the limits of additive manufacturing in friction-critical components, making her a rising voice in the field of modern tribology.
