We consider a class of strongly $q$ -log-convex polynomials based on a triangular recurrence relation with linear coefficients, and we show that the Bell polynomials, the Bessel polynomials, the Ramanujan polynomials and the Dowling polynomials are strongly $q$ -log-convex. We also prove that the Bessel transformation preserves log-convexity.
