Note: read "carbon" as "graphite-structured carbon."
To add to what I've said before:
I've never worked with strictly carbon materials, but I've worked with people who have done so, and I've learned a few things from them:
1) Their s***ty residue never, ever comes off the testing equipment we share
2) No matter what you do with it, carbon (fibers) can only be made strong in one direction (two if you make it into composites), which is the same direction(s) in which the fibers align and the direction in which heat is transferred.
How you can arrange these fibers, or any pure carbon, in a plane such that the planar carbon structures align perpendicular to the plane and still create a structure strong enough to withstand the clamping pressure, I can't imagine. You'd need some sort of crosslinking that is beyond the capabilities of all but a few scientists. Such an act would be highly published.
To reiterate, there's no way to make graphite into a material strong enough to serve as a baseplate.
