This work describes a setup to characterize the effective diffusivity of barrier membranes to mass transport. Membranes with controlled and well-defined barrier microstructures are produced from an elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Physical obstacles to mass transport are generated by carving in the matrix microscopic holes with well-defined shapes and in specific positions. Lateral Raman mapping is used to follow mass transport of a penetrant molecule, hexadecanol (HDOL), in the carved matrix. The influence of circular and elongated holes over mass transport is examined by monitoring the HDOL Raman intensity over time, after it passes the barrier microstructure. Results are compared with computer simulations of mass transport...
