1. A method for improving adhesion of a coating to a substrate and/or for improving edge coverage and corrosion resistance of a coating on a substrate, comprising:
contacting at least a portion of the substrate with a surface coating comprising:
(i) a multi-unit carbodiimide of the formula (I):
![]() wherein
n is at least 2; and
(ii) a siloxane of the formula (II):
![]() or
(iii) a compound formed from the reaction of the compound of formula (I) with the compound of formula (II) having the formula (III):
![]() wherein:
R1 and R3 each independently comprise a group selected from alkyl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, ether, polyether, siloxane, urethane, urea, imine, amide, carbodiimide, isocyanate, carbonyl, and carbamate;
R2 comprises a group selected from alkyl, arylalkyl, and cycloalkyl;
R4 comprises a group selected from hydrogen, alkyl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, amine, and siloxane, wherein R4 comprises at least one amine group;
R5 comprises a comprises a group selected from alkyl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, amine, and amide;
m+p is at least 2; and
the dashed lines represent tautomerization wherein any one of the carbon-nitrogen bonds is a double bond;
applying, to the surface coating, an overcoat comprising a group reactive with the surface coating; and
curing overcoat to form a coating layer.
