Phase-field models play a central role in the continuum description of phase separation, in which the bulk free-energy density and the interfacial thickness parameter determine pattern formation and microstructural evolution. In practice, these constitutive quantities are rarely known a priori and must be inferred from limited dynamical observations.

The paper introduces a physics-constrained neural network surrogate that learns the microstructural evolution of binary mixtures governed by the Cahn‑Hilliard equation. By imposing conservation of the order parameter as a hard constraint on the network output, the model accurately predicts long‑time phase‑separation dynamics for both critical and off‑critical mixtures, maintaining mixture composition and matching the Lifshitz‑Slyozov domain‑growth law. A variant that enforces conservation only through a penalty term drifts from the initial composition and loses predictive accuracy over long rollouts, underscoring the necessity of the hard constraint for stability.
