# A Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin model with dynamic boundary conditions

• Our aim in this paper is to define proper dynamic boundary conditions for a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard system proposed by M. Gurtin. Such boundary conditions take into account the interactions with the walls in confined systems. We then study the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions.
