• weak metal affinity was facilitated through the surface immobilization via 4-MPBA [30][31]. The 4-MPBA reporter features are predominantly based on re-orientation i.e. binding of the analyte via the boronic acid group causing a symmetry breaking and activation of the charge transfer mechanism which

• treated) to 40 ± 1°, 72 ± 1° and 60 ± 5° for the substrates containing neridronate, APTES and PDA, respectively. Here, the lower hydrophilicity is caused by the presence of organic molecules with increased hydrophobicity in comparison to the neat titanium surface. The surface immobilization of these
