fraction of covalent bonding

f_covalent = e^{(-0.25\deltaE}2)
f_ionic = 1 - f_covalent

thermoplastics的结构特征

The primary bond in thermoplastics are the covalent bonds that hold the individual carbon atoms together along the polymer chains while van der Waals secondary bonds hold the polymer chains close together.
