The dynamical behaviors of the inclusion-dissociation transition between molecular nanotubes and flexible polymer chains have been studied by the Monte Carlo simulations. In the case of flexible polymer chains, there is large difference in time evolution curves between the inclusion processes and the dissociation processes. It is also found that the relaxation time of the inclusion or dissociation processes increases with the polymer length like a power law. This scaling exponent shows anomalous behavior near the inclusion-dissociation transition point. The simulation results indicate that the dynamical aspects of inclusion-dissociation transition in the solutions of molecular nanotubes and flexible polymer chains have many unique features, due to the disentanglement processes of polymer chains and the specific geometrical structures that forces the sequential association or dissociation of polymer segments.
