Claim 10:
11. The supramolecular biomedical polymer according to claim 9, having at least one of the following properties:
(i) a modulus at 100% elongation of at least 7 MPa, as determined by test method ASTM D 1708-96, with a crosshead speed of 20 mm/min;
(ii) an ultimate tensile strength of at least 40 MPa, as determined by test method ASTM D 1708-96 with a crosshead speed of 20 mm/min;
(iii) a fatigue resistance of at least 3 million cycles before failure, as determined on a strip of polymer of 5×25 mm with a thickness in between 0.2 and 1 mm using a uniaxial tensile tester with an elongation of 10% at a sample rate of 10 Hz, whereby fatigue failure is defined at the cycle in which the stress response is below 10% of the stress response at the first cycle; and
(iv) at least two thermal transitions selected from glass transitions and melting points at a temperature between 50 and 125° C. and no thermal transition in between 0 and 45° C., as determined with differential scanning calorimetry at a heating rate of 20° C./min.
