Claim 16:
17. A process for the manufacture of a porous biomedical implant having a non-woven mesh structure comprising the supramolecular biomedical polymer, the process comprising:
(a) providing the supramolecular biomedical polymer having an ultimate tensile strength of at least 35 MPa, a Young's modulus of between 40 and 160 MPa, and an elongation at break of at least 350%, as determined by test method ASTM D 1708-96 with a crosshead speed of 20 mm/min, obtainable by the process according to claim 1;
(b) dissolving the supramolecular biomedical polymer in a solvent mixture suitable for electro-spinning;
(c) electro-spinning the polymer solution from (b) on a target; and
(d) isolating the porous biomedical implant from the target as a sheet, cylinder, or complex 3D-structure.
