Quite recently various extraordinary properties of deionized colloidal suspensions have been reported. Typical examples are the formation of a" crystal-like" ordered structure [1], and appearance of a single broad peak in the small-angle curves of X-ray and neutron scattering indicating the" liquid-like" nature of the suspensions [2]. When colloidal spheres are deionized as completely as possible by coexisting ion-exchange resins for more than a week, the resulting suspension contains very small amounts of ionic species, ie, counterions from the dissociate groups of colloidal spheres and ions dissociated from water molecules. The effective ionic strength is as low as the order of 10-7 M. In this deionized state, the Debye-screening lengths around the spheres are highly expanded as long as micrometers and the electrostatic repulsive forces prevail for a long distance, though the forces would become very weak.In this communication, viscosities of colloidal silica and polystyrene latex spheres were measured for completely (ionic concentration as low as the order of 10-7 M) deionized suspensions. The plots of~ lsp/c against c (~/sp specific viscosity, c concentration [g/roll) showed very extraordinary concentration dependence and the viscosity de-
