Abstract
I would like to thank and express my gratitude to Assistant Professor Funda Tõhmõnlõoğlu for her supervision and guidance during my studies. I am also grateful to Professor Devrim Balköse, and Professor Semra Ülkü for their valuable comments and suggestions. Special thanks to Research Specialist Filiz Özmõhçõ for her contributions to my thesis. I also would like to thank Research Specialist Özlem Çağlar for the FTIR analyses, Research Specialist Nesrin Gafaroğullarõ for the ICP analyses, Research Assistant Mert Sudağõdan, and the Biotechnology and Bioengineering Department for the microbiological tests, Petkim Petrochemicals Company, Feridun Şenol, and Research Assistant Dildare Metin, for performing the mechanical tests. I am also indebted to the laboratory technicians for their helps in the laboratory work. Special thanks to my roommates, Research Assistants: Ayben Top, Dildare Metin, and Semih Elbir for their friendships, understandings, and supports. Finally I would like to than...
