Zinc is known as one of vital micronutrients that assists epithelization and its deficiency results in delayed wound healing [1]. Zinc oxide has antibacterial properties which is also beneficial for biomedicine. Therefore, incorporation of Zn-containing nanomaterials in polymer nanosheets is expected to add value to wound treatment and healing. Correspondingly, investigation of zinc-ion release capability of such systems seems very vital for their effectiveness as wound dressing.
