👉 In the context of biotechnology, "thermolyzed" refers to a process where a material is heated above its melting point and then subjected to a chemical treatment that breaks down the molecule or protein into smaller fragments. This can lead to a decrease in molecular weight and an increase in the solubility of the material. Thermolysis is often used in the production of biocompatible materials such as plastics, composites, and biomaterials.
