Acknowledgments<br />

An undertaking such as a dissertation is not completed without the support of many<br />

people. My first wholehearted gratitude must go to my advisor, Dr. R. Wayne Johnson <strong>for</strong> his<br />

support and academic guidance throughout my pursuit of this degree. His wisdom, rigor and<br />

academic achievements in science and technology, and his wonderful, kindly personality have<br />

made him a lifetime example <strong>for</strong> me.<br />

Special thanks to my committees, Dr. Robert N Dean, Dr. Stuart M. Wentworth, and<br />

Dr. Dong-Joo (Daniel) Kim <strong>for</strong> their advice on this work. Thanks are also given to my group<br />

member and friends, Ping Zheng, Rui Zhang, and Phillip Henson <strong>for</strong> their cooperative support<br />

and assistance. The financial support provided <strong>for</strong> this work by Lord Corporation is<br />

acknowledged.<br />

I would like to recognize the help of several key members of the technical staffs and<br />

industrial financial support partner. Special thanks are due to Mike Palmer, John Marcell,<br />

Charles Ellis, and Russell Stapleton <strong>for</strong> their assistance throughout the process of this research.<br />

Finally, I would like to express my profound gratitude to my parents and my husband<br />
