The present invention relates to a method for modifying a polymer coating material by adding an organosulfur compound, and to further prevent corrosion by coating a metal substrate with the modified polymer material. The organosulfur compound is an alkanethiol having the formula R (CH 2 ) n SH, wherein R represents H, NH 2 , HOOC, and HO groups, n is an integer from 10 to 21. Reagents that increase the bond between the polymeric coating and the metal substrate may be provided to contribute to increased corrosion resistance. |
