In the experimental part of our thesis, we attempted to experimentally determine the diffusivity of acetone through a PDMS membrane under different vacuum conditions, however the measurements contradicted expectations, and consequently it was not possible to determine the diffusivity. On the other hand, we successfully managed to mathematically describe the process of acetone diffusion through a PDMS membrane in a flow-through steady-state system. We also successfully provided a graphical representation of the parametric dependence of the diffusion time.
