This review examines the current state of the art in GAM technology and applications. It outlines the fundamental principles and discusses the benefits and limitations of the process. It describes the choice of equipment, including aspects such as nitrogen gas preparation and the position and timing of gas injection. The report also provides design guidelines for thin and thick section mouldings and the dimensions and location of gas channels. External gas moulding is also briefly described. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

He is now Chairman of Gas Injection Limited, which he founded in the UK in 1993, and President of Gas Injection Corporation in the USA.
