The present invention relates to supramolecular biomedical polymers comprising quadruple hydrogen bonding units and to a process for preparing such a supramolecular biomedical polymer and porous biomedical implants thereof. The supramolecular biomedical polymers are particularly suitable for the production of porous biomedical implants that need high strength, elasticity, durability, and slow biodegradation, e.g. medical implants for living tissue regeneration within a mammal, such as the treatment of cardio-vascular diseases, medical prolapses, and hernias.

Supramolecular biomedical polymers

This disclosure relates to new injectable hydrogel materials that consist of water gellants comprising linear hydrophilic polymers that comprise hydrogen bonding units in the backbone combined with cross-linkable end groups, resulting in dynamic yet firm hydrogel materials that are easily processable, are highly elastic, show adhesive properties and are self-healing and are especially suitable for biomedical applications.

Durable hydrogen bonded hydrogels

The present invention relates to the use of a (1&#x2192;3)-&#x3b2;-D-glucan as an emulsion stabilizer. The present invention further relates to emulsions comprising a (1&#x2192;3)-&#x3b2;-D-glucan in an amount of 0.01 to 10 wt. %, based on the total weight of the emulsion. The present invention also relates to bitumen binder compositions comprising a (1&#x2192;3)-&#x3b2;-D-glucan in an amount of 0.005 to less than 0.1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the bitumen binder composition. The present invention further relates to emulsions comprising a novel biodegradable emulsifying agent, in particular in combination with a (1&#x2192;3)-&#x3b2;-D-glucan.
