Viscosities and their temperature, T, and volume, V, dependences are reported for 7 molecular liquids and polymers. In combination with literature viscosity data for 5 other liquids, we show that the superpositioning of relaxation times for various glass-forming materials when expressed as a function of TV^g, where the exponent g is a material constant, can be extended to the viscosity. The latter is usually measured to higher temperatures than the corresponding relaxation times, demonstrating the validity of the thermodynamic scaling throughout the supercooled and higher T regimes. The value of g for a given liquid principally reflects the magnitude of the intermolecular forces (e.g., steepness of the repulsive potential); thus, we find decreasing g in going from van der Waals fluids to ionic liquids. For strongly H-bonded materials, such as low molecular weight polypropylene glycol and water, the superpositioning fails, due to the non-trivial change of chemical structure (degree of H-bonding) with thermodynamic conditions.
