Abstract Just as natural systems and phenomena, researchers must often find new chemical strategies to access smart molecular machines or supramolecular processing, which can solve many of mankind’s greatest problems which encompass disease, energy crisis, preservation of chemical resources, and processing high-performance composites in a cost-effective way. In nature, molecular machines regulate not only a variety of transport phenomena and catalytic reactions in physiological processes, but such biological polymeric structures also exhibit self-repairing characteristics. Taken as a whole, molecular machines support vital phenomena with precision and complexity. By focusing on the viewpoint of chemical bonds, those phenomena rely on active, characteristic dynamic bonds fueled by stimuli. By definition, dynamic bonds are chemical bonds, which exhibit dynamic characteristics between bonding and de-bonding in response to stimuli. Here, I will show some examples related to adaptive supramolecular chemistry for functional polymer hybrids, which have done by our recent investigations.
