Dr. Frazier is a plant-polymer scientist, emphasizing polymers found in natural materials like wood, grasses, wheat, soybeans, nutshells, etc. His current focus is in lignin chemistry and manipulating lignin reactions during biomass processing. He is the Director of the Wood-Based Composites Center, a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (WBC),where the industry requests fundamental research on applied topics that stimulate industrial innovation. WBC members are companies that manufacture wood-based composites, and also companies that supply chemicals and adhesives to the manufacturers. Students in his group obtain a great deal of industry exposure as they gain training in polymer science through the Macromolecules Innovation Institute (MII).
