Abstract: ) with increased oxidation severity. Meanwhile, crystallinity and melting enthalpy increased due to partial recrystallization during the oxidation process. These findings highlight the sensitivity of PA6 to thermal oxidation, underlining the importance of controlling oxidative conditions to maintain material performance. The study suggests the necessity for thermal management strategies and antioxidant incorporation to enhance the durability of PA6 for hydrogen storage applications, where exposure to elevated temperatures is inevitable.
