Law in social work education: reviewing the evidence on teaching, learning and assessment

This paper presents the findings from a systemic review of knowledge relating to current practice in the teaching, learning and assessment of law in social work education. The research comprised an internationally conducted systematic review of the literature, together with a survey of current education practice in the four countries of the UK. Two consultation events sought the views of a range of stakeholders, including the perspectives of service users and carers. Set in the context of debates about the relationship between law and social work practice, this paper identifies the common themes emerging from the review and offers an analysis of key findings, together with priorities for future directions in education practice

Synthesis and polymerization of new monomers derived from 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene

We report here the results of the synthesis of soluble polymers derived from 3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene. Starting from a 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene monomer functionalized by an hydroxymethyl group, we synthesized several monomers bearing different side groups. The influence of alkyl chain length of side groups was studied in order to improve the solubility of the resulting polymer obtained by chemical oxidation. The optical properties of some chemically polymerized materials are also reported

New cation-exchange material based on a sulfonated 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer

The electrochemical oxidation, in aqueous medium, of a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer functionalized by a sulfonate group exhibiting cation-exchange properties, allows the synthesis of a new type of water-soluble material. In order to synthesize in water, by oxidative electropolymerization, polymer films of controlled thickness containing attached sulfonate groups, we have investigated the polymerization of the functionalized monomer in the presence of the unsubstituted one without supporting electrolyte. Using an equimolar mixture (0.01 mol/l) of both monomers, copolymers exhibiting cation exchange abilities have been synthesized. As an example, th easy incorporation of hexaamine-ruthenium(III) into one of these copolymers is briefly reported
