PolyAspirin, developed by Professor Kathryn Uhrich, breaks down to form salicylic acid molecules.  It passes through the stomach without upsetting it.  One major advantage is it's potential as a controlled release pain reliever.  One dose of PolyAspirin will release salicylic acid molecules over a long period of time!
