Remarks

If no PhysicsMaterial2D is specified then the Rigidbody2D.sharedMaterial on the Rigidbody2D that the collider is attached to is used. If the collider is not attached to a Rigidbody2D or no Rigidbody2D.sharedMaterial is specified then the global PhysicsMaterial2D is used. If no global PhysicsMaterial2D is specified then the defaults are: PhysicsMaterial2D.friction = 0.4 and PhysicsMaterial2D.bounciness = 0.
In other words, a PhysicsMaterial2D specified on the Collider2D has priority over a PhysicsMaterial2D specified on a Rigidbody2D which has priority over the global PhysicsMaterial2D.
