The effect of particle size, \(a\), and volume fraction, \(\phi_{s}\), of sterically stabilized polystyrene latex dispersions on depletion flocculation was studied using rheological measurements. Three latex particles with diameters of 147,435 , and \(915 \mathrm{~nm}\) were investigated using "free
