In this paper, we used improved -expansion method to reach the solutions for some nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations (fPDE). The fPDE is reduced to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) by means of Riemann–Liouille derivative and a basic variable transformation. Various types of functions are obtained for the time-fractional biological population model (fBPM) and Cahn–Hilliard (fCH) equation.
