However, immobilizing metformin in a stable, bioactive, and dose-controllable manner onto a chemically inert, hydrophobic surface is challenging. The objective of this study is to immobilize metformin at various concentration (0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 g·L<sup>-1</sup>) onto low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces by a multistep approach with the aim of creating bioactive coatings. In this approach, LDPE was first treated with a 40 kHz low pressure plasma discharge in air atmosphere, followed by non-covalent attachment of acrylic acid <i>via</i> a grafting technique. Metformin was covalently attached to the surface <i>via</i> N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and <i>N</i>-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) activation, while its presence on the polymer surface was confirmed by Water contact angle (WCA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Sustained metformin release with a shift from Fickian to first-order kinetics was observed at higher drug loading. Antibacterial testing against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> showed no antibacterial effect at the selected concentration levels.

This review systematically analyzes the efficacy of hydrogel- and non-hydrogel-based dressings in acute and sub-acute burn care. Hydrogels with a water content of more than 90% present an environment for healing by way of autolytic debridement, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and pain relief-they are extremely helpful in partial-thickness burns owing to their cooling and non-adherence characteristics. Additionally, hydrogels can deliver bioactive agents (e.g. antimicrobials) and manage moderate exudate, enhancing their utility in infected wounds. In contrast, non-hydrogel dressings-including foam, nanofiber, and film-based systems-are tailored for heavily exudative or deep burns (e.g. full-thickness injuries). Foam dressings combine high absorbency with mechanical protection, while electrospun nanofibers mimic the extracellular matrix to accelerate cell migration. Key determinants for polymer selection include hydrophilicity, adhesion properties, wound depth, exudate volume, and microbial load. Natural polymers like chitosan and alginate enhance biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity, whereas synthetic variants (e.g. polyurethane) provide mechanical stability. Composite systems integrate these advantages but face scalability limitations. Emerging innovations, such as pH-responsive and sensor-integrated smart dressings, alongside biomimetic designs, promise advancements in personalized burn care.
