CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/675,231, entitled “ADHESIVE COMPOSITE AND METHOD OF FORMING AN ADHESIVE COMPOSITE,” filed on May 23, 2018, naming as inventors Jan SCHEFFEL et al., which is assigned to the current assignee hereof and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     The present disclosure relates to adhesive composites, and more particularly to, adhesive composites useful in sound dampening applications. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Adhesive composites that include pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA), in particular, adhesive composites used in sound dampening applications (i.e., brake shim applications) can be utilized to affect sound propagation through a given material. However, particular pressure sensitive adhesives can only affect sound propagation when used within certain temperature ranges. For example, particular pressure sensitive adhesives are known to dampen noise, i.e., brake noise or the brake squeal of brake systems, when operating within certain low temperature ranges, i.e., from −20° C. to 20° C., within certain medium temperature ranges, i.e. 0° C. to 40° C. or within certain high temperature ranges, i.e., 30° C. up to 80° C. When these pressure sensitive adhesives operate outside of their known working temperature range, they break down, fail to maintain their adhesive performance and fail to maintain their sound propagation capabilities. Accordingly, there is a continuing need for improved adhesive composite designs that are able to maintain sound propagation capabilities (i.e., sound dampening capabilities) over broad temperature ranges.

     The raw material compositions for each adhesive material were combined using UV initiated prepolymerisation. The polymerized raw material mixtures were then added to the additional components to form the syrup. After coating of the adhesive materials onto the substrate to form the adhesive layer of the composite, the adhesive composite was cured by UV-light in a coating line and wound on roll.

     Example 2 
     A second sample composite S2 was formed by depositing a high Tg adhesive material and a low Tg adhesive material in a pattern of alternating stipes on a substrate. Deposition of the sample composite was carried out using a coating process with a comb blade deposition head. The composition of the high Tg adhesive material and the composition of the low Tg adhesive material are provided in Table 4 below.

     The raw material compositions for each adhesive material were combined using UV initiated prepolymerisation. The polymerized raw material mixtures were then added to the additional components to form the syrup. After coating of the adhesive materials onto the substrate to form the adhesive layer of the composite, the adhesive composite was cured by UV-light in a coating line and wound on roll.

     Example 3 
     A second sample composite S3 was formed by depositing a high Tg adhesive material and a low Tg adhesive material in a pattern of alternating stipes on a substrate. Deposition of the sample composite was carried out using a coating process with a comb blade deposition head. The composition of the high Tg adhesive material and the composition of the low Tg adhesive material are provided in Table 7 below.

     Example 4 
     A second sample composite S4 was formed by depositing a high Tg adhesive material and a low Tg adhesive material in a pattern of alternating stipes on a substrate. Deposition of the sample composite was carried out using a coating process with a comb blade deposition head. The composition of the high Tg adhesive material and the composition of the low Tg adhesive material are provided in Table 10 below.

     Example 5 
     A second sample composite S5 was formed by depositing a high Tg adhesive material and a low Tg adhesive material in a pattern of alternating stipes on a substrate. Deposition of the sample composite was carried out using a coating process with a comb blade deposition head. The composition of the high Tg adhesive material and the composition of the low Tg adhesive material are provided in Table 13 below.

     The raw material compositions for each adhesive material were combined using UV initiated prepolymerisation. The polymerized raw material mixtures were then added to the additional components to form the syrup. After coating of the adhesive materials onto the substrate to form the adhesive layer of the composite, the adhesive composite was cured by UV-light in a coating line and wound on roll.
