ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Teh Geok Bee for her guidance to complete my Degree study and research. Under her supervision, I have gained more knowledge especially on chemistry (material science). Besides that, she has also inspired me to think critical to solve the scientific problem faced during the research. Besides my advisor, I would like to thank the other lectures especially Ms. Chia and Dr. Banumathi at Tunku Abdul Rahman College for their motivation and guidance. I thank my thesis team mates, Chan Chun lam,
