Resumen
MICROSCOPIC VISUALIZATION, ESPECIALLY IN TRANSPARENT MICRO MODELS, CAN PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND THE TRANSPORT PHENOMENA AT PORE SCALE IN DIFFERENT PROCESS OCCURRING IN POROUS MATERIALS (FOOD, TIMBER, SOILS, ETC.). MICRO MODELS STUDIES FOCUS MAINLY ON THE OBSERVATION OF MULTI-PHASE FLOW, WHICH PRESENTS A GREATER PROXIMITY TO REALITY. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO STUDY THE PROCESS OF FLEXOGRAPHY AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE MANUFACTURE OF POLYESTER RESIN TRANSPARENT MICRO MODELS AND ITS APPLICATION TO CARROTS. MATERIALS USED TO IMPLEMENT A FLEXO STATION FOR MICRO MODELS CONSTRUCTION WERE THERMO REGULATED WATER BATH, EXPOSURE CHAMBER TO UV LIGHT, PHOTOSENSITIVE SUBSTANCE (PHOTOPOLYMER), RTV SILICONE POLYESTER RESIN, AND GLASS PLATES. IN THIS PAPER, DATA ON SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF A PARTICULAR KIND OF CARROT WE USED, AND A TRANSPARENT MICRO MODEL WITH SQUARE CROSS-SECTION AS WELL AS A LOG-NORMAL PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION WITH PORE RADII RANGING FROM 10 TO 110 ?M (AVERAGE OF 22 ?M AND MICRO MODEL SIZE OF 10 × 10 CM) WERE BUILT. FINALLY, IT STRESSES THAT IT HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED THE PROTOCOL PROCESSING 2D POLYESTER RESIN TRANSPARENT MICRO MODELS.
