Abstract: In this paper the study of a nonlocal second order Cahn-Hilliard-type singularly perturbed family of functions is undertaken. The kernels considered include those leading to Gagliardo fractional seminorms for gradients. Using $\Gamma$ convergence the integral representation of the limit energy is characterized leading to an anisotropic surface energy on interfaces separating different phases.
