Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a composition and composite for protecting a transmission/reception device. The composite can include a reinforcing material and a cured epoxy composition impregnating the reinforcing material. The cured epoxy composition can contain reaction constituents including less than 50% stoichiometric amount of an anhydride curing agent to an epoxy resin. The composite can exhibit synergistic improvements in mechanical strength, weatherability, and signal transmission properties.
