We show that solutions of a two-phase model involving a non-local interactive term separate from the pure phases from a certain time on, even if this is not the case initially. This result allows us to apply a generalized Lojasiewicz-Simon theorem and to establish the convergence of solutions to a single stationary state as time goes to infinity.
