    This article is interested in the numerical analysis of the Cahn-Hilliard equation in a bounded domain with non-permeable walls equipped with dynamic-type boundary conditions. The considered dynamic-type boundary conditions describe the interactions of a binary material with the wall. The equation is semi-discretized using a finite element method for the space variables and error estimates between the exact and the approximate solution are obtained. The stability estimate is obtained using the backward Euler time difference formula. Numerical simulations supporting the theoretical results are presented.
