Polymer materials play a crucial role in modern industry and technology due to their versatile properties and broad range of applications. However, conventional industrial modification strategies often suffer from an inherent inability to finely tune the balance between strength and toughness, thereby constraining their utility in high-performance applications. To address this challenge, researchers have focused on optimizing the internal structure of polymers as a means to regulate their macroscopic mechanical behavior. Among various strategies, network structure design has emerged as a particularly effective approach. This review takes network structure as a central theme and categorizes the mechanisms of polymer modification based on their energy dissipation pathways. Six major mechanisms are discussed: hydrogen bonding, coordination interactions, host-guest interactions, force-sensitive groups, mechanically interlocked structures, and other reinforcing effects. For each category, we provide overview of recent representative and innovative studies. Through detailed structural analysis and performance evaluation, we highlight how different pathways contribute to the enhancement of mechanical properties. These special structures markedly enhance the material's ability to dissipate energy upon external force. This improvement arises primarily through three synergistic pathways: (1) the reversible breaking and reformation of sacrificial bonds, which serve to absorb and redistribute applied stress; (2) energy dissipation via molecular mobility and chain segmental friction; and (3) multiscale mechanisms of stress transfer and dispersion, which effectively mitigate stress concentration and delay failure. Finally, based on the current research, we identify key unresolved questions and major challenges that must be addressed to further advance the mechanical performance of polymer materials. Looking ahead, the development of next-generation high-performance polymers is expected to converge on several critical directions: achieving sustainability in material sourcing and processing, the combination of high elasticity and high toughness, reducing economic costs, and deepening the multiscale understanding of structure-property relationships. These avenues will be pivotal in guiding the rational design of polymer systems for future technological demands.
