Acknowledgments

I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank those who have assisted
me so far in my graduate studies. Firstly, Γd like to extend gratitude to my advisor,
Professor Pulickel M. Ajayan, as he has been the driving force behind my research.
In addition to his expertise in the field of carbon nanotubes, I appreciate his "open
door” policy and constant encouragement. Γd also like to thank the other members
of my committee, Professors Enrique Barrera and Carl Rau, for taking the time to
understand my work and providing the feedback which is critical to my growth as a
scientist.

Much thanks go to Dr. Lijie Ci, who trained me not only on the art of
nanotube synthesis, but as well on the method Ofinfiltrating the CNT forests with a
polymer. Also, Professor Prabir Patra of the University OfBridgeport is to thank for
his constant attention to my work as well as his foresight to procure the DMA which
has proven to be a cornerstone of my research. I look forward to working with them
both for the extent of my time at Rice and perhaps beyond.

Γd like to acknowledge NASA and particularly the Graduate Student
Researchers Program (GSRP) for their financial support of my work.

Lastly, but certainly not least, Γd like to thank my wife, Sarah, for her
unwavering support and for being willing to relocate to Texas so that I can pursue
my degree. For this and many other reasons, I wouldn't be where I am today
without her.
