An effective hard-sphere model for the non-Newtonian viscosity of soft
-sphere dispersions is used to analyse recent experimental data for sm
all latices and microgels. The approach is shown to scale the concentr
ation and shear stress dependence of the viscosity well. The scaling i
s performed in terms of an apparent, interparticle pair potential.
