I want to thank all of you for helping me, in your own way, to finally make one of my dreams come true. Thank you for encouraging me to continue and achieve my goals. Thank you for your endless love, support, and motivation. Andreas, thank you for your continuous patience and for being there for me whenever I needed you during this difficult time. I will never forget what you did for me. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge the following people for their contributions in this work: Dr. Isiah M. Warner for his guidance and excellent advice. Thank you for encouraging me to finish what I started. I want to also thank you for the financial and moral support. You are an excellent mentor, and you prove that every day with your constant encouragement and support. Thank you again for everything. Dr. Rezik A. Agbaria for his helpful scientific discussions during my general exam and my project with laser scanning confocal microscopy. Dr. Charles William Henry III for training me how to use the capillary electrophoresis instrument and the packing apparatus. Dr. Henry and Dr. Shahab Shamsi helped me understand the most important concepts of my research. Dr. Joseph B. Schlenoff and his group at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida for training me on the polyelectrolyte multilayer coating procedure. Dr. Lei Geng and Mark Lowry at University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa for helping me conduct some experiments on the laser scanning confocal microscope, and for their helpful discussions about this part of my research. Dr. Akbay Cevdet and Bertha C. Valle for providing the polymeric surfactants I used in my research work. Warner research group and Warner family for their encouragement and their total support. Bertha C. Valle for her friendship, her advice, and the long useful discussions we had about research. iv Dr. Nikki Gill, Dr. Xiaofeng Zhu, and Dr. Abdul Numan for editing a few of my reports. My family and friends in Cyprus for believing in me, and supporting all my choices. v TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION .....................................................................................................................iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...................................................................................................iv LIST OF TABLES ...............................................................................................................ix LIST OF FIGURES ..............................................................................................................x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................xiv ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................... xviii CHAPTER 1.
