When　the　AlCl3/toluene　system　is　employed　as　a　catalyst,　the　vulcanized　rubber　obtained　from　the　dodecanedioic　acid　(DA)-based　vulcanization　of　epoxidized　natural　rubber　(ENR)　can　be　effectively　decrosslinked　at　160　degrees　C　over　a　period　of　18　h.　The　reclaimed　rubber　can　subsequently　be　revulcanized　using　DA,　thereby　demonstrating　favorable　recyclability　and　mechanical　properties　(tensile　strength　is　2.5　MPa,　elongation　at　break　is　91.6%　and　the　rate　of　degradation　is　100%).　During　the　reaction　process,　AlCl3　coordinates　with　the　carbonyl　oxygen　atoms　within　the　cross-linking　network,　facilitating　a　nucleophilic　substitution　reaction　between　water　(as　the　nucleophile)　and　ester　groups.　This　reaction　leads　to　the　formation　of　hydroxyl　groups,　some　of　which　undergo　dehydration　to　form　carbon-carbon　double　bonds.　Through　comprehensive　characterization　of　the　reclaimed　rubber　and　model　compounds,　the　plausible　decrosslinking　mechanism　of　the　vulcanizate　was　elucidated.
