An initial-boundary-value problem for a class of sixth order viscous Cahn-Hilliard type equations with a nonlinear diffusion is considered. The study is motivated by phase-field modelling of various spatial structures, for example arising in oil-water-surfactant mixtures and in modelling of crystal growth on atomic length, known as phase field crystal model. For such problem we prove the existence and uniqueness of a global in time regular solution. First the finite-time existence is proved by means of the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. Then, due to suitable estimates, the finite-time solution is extended step by step on the infinite time interval.
Keywords: existence of global regular solutions, Sixth order viscous Cahn-Hilliard type equation, oil-water-surfactant mixtures..
