A fluid check valve incorporating a temporary elastomeric functional barrier membrane, the check valve having a sealing member comprising a first elastomer and a barrier membrane comprising a second elastomer, different from the first elastomer, disposed directly upon the surface of the sealing member so as to form a continuous layer over at least a seal opening of the sealing member. The barrier membrane may include a photoinitiator and coagent which aids in the ultraviolet (UV) curing of the second elastomer after application upon the first. The barrier membrane may applied as a solution of monomers, photoinitiator, and optional coagent, the solvent evaporated, and the deposited solutes exposed to ultraviolet so as to form the barrier membrane material.

1. A fluid check valve comprising: a sealing member comprising a first elastomer; anda barrier membrane comprising a second elastomer, different from the first elastomer, the second elastomer being disposed directly upon and self-adhered to a surface of the sealing member so as to form a continuous layer over at least a seal opening portion of the sealing member that must be ruptured for opening of the seal opening portion of the sealing member. 2. The fluid check valve of claim 1, wherein the first elastomer principally includes a silicone rubber. 3. The fluid check valve of claim 2, wherein the second elastomer principally includes a cured epoxy siloxane resin. 4. The fluid check valve of claim 3, wherein the second elastomer further includes a photoinitiator compound. 5. The fluid check valve of claim 4, wherein the photoinitiator compound is an idonium salt. 6. The fluid check valve of claim 4, wherein the photoinitiator compound is a benzophenone, a benzoamine, a thioxanthone, a thioamine, or a derivative thereof. 7. The fluid check valve of claim 1, wherein the valve further comprises a valve body, and the barrier membrane forms a continuous layer over both the seal opening portion of the sealing member and an adjoining portion of a valve seat. 8. The fluid check valve of claim 7, wherein the second elastomer principally includes a cured epoxy siloxane resin. 9. The fluid check valve of claim 8, wherein the second elastomer further includes a photoinitiator compound. 10. The fluid check valve of claim 9, wherein the photoinitiator compound is an iodonium salt. 11. The fluid check valve of claim 9, wherein the photoinitiator compound is benzophenone, a benzoamine, a thioxanthone, a thioamine, or a derivative thereof. 12. A method of manufacturing a temporary elastomeric functional barrier membrane upon a fluid check valve sealing member, the method comprising the steps of: (1) applying a solution directly upon a surface of the fluid check valve sealing member and over at least a seal opening portion of the fluid check valve sealing member, the solution comprising a solvent, an elastomer precursor, a photoinitiator, and, optionally, a coagent;(2) evaporating the solvent from the applied solution; and(3) exposing the applied elastomer precursor, photoinitiator and any optional coagent to an ultraviolet light source; wherein the exposing step links the applied elastomer precursor and forms a temporary elastomeric functional barrier membrane across the seal opening portion of the sealing member. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the applying and evaporating steps are repeated prior to the exposure step. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the applying, evaporating, and exposing steps are repeated to create a laminate temporary elastomeric functional barrier membrane having a preselected thickness. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises an epoxy siloxane monomer or monomers, and the photoinitiator is an iodonium salt. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises an epoxy siloxane monomer or monomers, and the photoinitiator is benzophenone, a benzoamine, a thioxanthone, a thioamine, or a derivative thereof. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises an EPDM monomer or monomers, the photoinitiator is an iodonium salt, and the optional coagent is present and is triallylisocyanurate (TAIC). 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises an EPDM monomer or monomers, the photoinitiator is benzophenone, and the optional coagent is present and is triallylisocyanurate (TAIC). 19. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises acrylonitrile and butadiene, the photoinitiator is iodonium salt, and the optional coagent is present and is triallylisocyanurate (TAIC). 20. The method of claim 12, wherein the elastomer precursor comprises acrylonitrile and butadiene, the photoinitiator is benzophenone, and the optional coagent is present and is triallylisocyanurate (TAIC).
