  In this work we investigate the transition from kinks to compactons at high
temperatures. We deal with a family of models, described by a real scalar field
with standard kinematics, controlled by a single parameter, real and positive.
The family of models supports kinklike solutions, and the solutions tend to
become compact when the parameter increases to larger and larger values. We
study the one-loop corrections at finite temperature, to see how the thermal
effects add to the effective potential. The results suggest that the symmetry
is restored at very high temperatures.
