Error with changing 2D physics material through a script

I'm trying to change a 2D physics material through a script, but I keep getting an error that I don't understand considering I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly according to this post, although it is working with 3D physics materials: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1485212/how-do-i-change-a-physics-material-through-a-scrip.html

Here's my code:

 if (Bouncy)
 {
     playerCollider.material = playerBouncyPhysicsMaterial;
 } else
 {
     playerCollider.material = playerPhysicsMaterial;
 }

as a side note, playerCollider is a Collider2D.

Here's the error.

 Assets\Scripts\PlayerController.cs(149,26): error CS1061: 'Collider2D' does not contain a definition for 'material' and no accessible extension method 'material' accepting a first argument of type 'Collider2D' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I really don't understand why this is happening. Can anyone help me? thanks.
