You'd probably be better off posting this in the Materials Engineering>Composite Engineering forum. Among other techniques, carbon/graphite composites are formed from Graphite/Epoxy layups that are then "cooked" in a reducing(?) atmosphere. The idea is to "burn" off the hydrogen etc. from the epoxy, leaving carbon behind.
