thermal polymerization

[′thər·məl pə‚lim·ə·rə′zā·shən]
(chemical engineering)
A thermal, petroleum refining process used to convert light hydrocarbon gases into liquid fuels; paraffinic hydrocarbons are cracked to produce olefinic material which is concurrently polymerized by heat and pressure to form liquids, the product being known as polymer gasoline.

Based on the aforementioned results, redox and thermal polymerization were carried out at O/W and W/O type emulsions, respectively.
As shown in Scheme 1, possible chemical reactions are thermal pyrolysis, thermal oxidation, and thermal polymerization according to detected compounds in Table 1.
(57) According to Endo, alcohols with acidic nature would have a favorable effect on the ring-opening reaction, while neutral compounds such as 1.3-propanediol cause a retardation and thermal polymerization is induced at relatively higher temperatures.
In order to get a better feel about how narrow the polydispersity values are in NMRP, values from thermal polymerization of styrene (in the absence of initiator and nitroxide), as well as thermal NMRP (nitroxide-mediated polymerization of styrene in the absence of initiator) are also presented in Figure 17b and c.
