This paper describes a method which uses rail curves for blending surfaces. Blending surface between the free form surfaces which have the flexible shapes and are widely used today is investigated. The rail curves give blending surface continuty through Pointwise interpola- tion. It is the point in this paper that the blending surfaces give a good flexibility to modeling of base free form surfaces. Using rail curves for simple base surfaces, complicated models can be designed. Also this blending surfaces can be used for path generation in compoud surfaces.

For products of various shapes, compound surfaces are used. Blending surfaces are essential to the products of the compound surfaces. In this paper a method of making shape of blending surface flexible with parameter control is discussed. The parameter has quantitative control of shape of the blend. The blending surface is applied to NURBS and simple primitives in solid model. Intersection curves of surfaces is used to provide the blend with generality. Rail curve are found with the intersection curves. The blend is generated by rail curves and parameter control. Also, In strict constraint condition, blending surface with flexible shapes is discussed, keeping ;${GC}^1$ and ;${GC}^2$ continuity between free-formed surfaces and solids. Joining blending ,bridge blending and blending surface at corner are generated.

We present a physics-based blending method for the second order algebraic implicit surface. Unlike other traditional blending techniques, the proposed method avoids complex mathematical operations and unwanted artifacts like bulge, which have highly limited the application of the second order algebraic implicit surface as a modeling primitive in spite of lots of its excellent properties. Instead, the proposed method provides the designer with flexibility to control the shapes of the blending surface on interactive basis; the designer can check and design the shape of blending surfaces accurately by simply adjusting several physics parameter in real time, which was impossible in the traditional blending methods. In the later parts of this paper, several results are also presented.

The control of high pretilt angle far nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy on the rubbed blending polyimide (homeotropic and homogeneous alignment) surface were studied. High NLC pretilt angle generated on the blending polyimide (homeotropic polyimide and SE-7492 surface was measured and the NLC pretilt angle increases with blending ratio and rubbing strength. However, the NLC pretilt angle generated on the blending polyimide (homeotropic polyimide and SE-150 surface was not varied. The high pretilt angle the NLC using blending polyimide surface can be acheived.

The control of high pretilt angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy on the rubbed blending polyimide (PI) of homeotropic and homogeneous alignment surface was studied. High LC pretilt angle on the rubbing blending polyimide of homeotropic PI and SE-7492 surface was measured and the LC pretilt angle increased wish blending ratio and rubbing strength. However, the low LC pretilt angle on the rubbed blending polyimide of homeotropic PI and SE-150 surface was measured. The high pretilt angle of NLC can be achieved by using the blending PI surface.

It is very difficult to partially describe the hull shape made up of 3-dimensional free form surface. With computerizing skill in ship design, the geometric modeling technique has been developed. In hull shape modeling, the blending technique has not yet been adapted to the hull shape surface has a variable curvature. By adapting the blend surface, small surface on drawing plane is to be softly blended with given hull surface and a projecting part. This study has adapted to the ship design one of the blending methods by which offsets data of the blend surface can be obtained by the input of blend radius on two base surfaces.

In order to model blending surfaces with curvature continuity, in this paper we apply sixth order partial differential equations (PDEs), which are solved with a composite power series based method. The proposed composite power series based approach meets boundary conditions exactly, minimises the errors of the PDEs, and creates almost as accurate blending surfaces as those from the closed form solution that is the most accurate but achievable only for some simple blending problems. Since only a few unknown constants are involved, the proposed method is comparable with the closed form solution in terms of computational efficiency. Moreover, it can be used to construct 3- or 4-sided patches through the satisfaction of continuities along all edges of the patches. Therefore, the developed method is simpler and more efficient than numerical methods, more powerful than the analytical methods, and can be implemented into an effective tool for the generation and manipulation of complex free-form surfaces.

Bacteria have been considered as a major foulant that initiates the formation of biofilm on the polymeric membrane surface. Some polymeric membranes are naturally antibacterial and have low fouling properties, however, numerous efforts have been devoted to improve their antibacterial performance. These modifications are mostly carried out through blending the membrane with an antibacterial agent or introducing the antibacterial agent on the membrane surface by chemical grafting. Currently, a significant number of researches have reported nanocomposite membrane as a new approach to fabricate an excellent antibacterial membrane. The antibacterial nanoparticles are dispersed homogenously in membrane structure by blending method or coating onto the membrane surface. Aim of the modifications is to prevent the initial attachment of bacteria to membrane surface and kill bacteria when attached on the membrane surface. In this paper, several studies on antibacterial modified membranes, particularly for water treatment, will be reviewed comprehensively. Special attention will be given on polymeric membrane modifications by introducing antibacterial agents through different methods, such as blending, grafting, and coating.
