Abstract:	The problem of the determination of the effective viscosity of disperse systems (emulsions, suspensions) is considered. On the basis of the formal solution of the equations governing creeping flow in a statistically homogeneous dispersion, the effective viscosity is expressed in a series expansion in terms of correlation functions. The contribution of the interfacial tension to the effective viscosity is also considered and finally bounds for the effective viscosity are indicated.
