In this work, we define three composite matrices derived from group rings. We employ these composite matrices to create generator matrices of the form $ [I_n \ | \ \Omega(v)], $ where $ I_n $ is the identity matrix and $ \Omega(v) $ is a composite matrix and search for binary self-dual codes with parameters $ [36,18, 6 \ \text{or} \ 8]. $ We next lift these codes over the ring $ R_1 = \mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2 $ to obtain codes whose binary images are self-dual codes with parameters $ [72,36,12]. $ Many of these codes turn out to have weight enumerators with parameters that were not known in the literature before. In particular, we find $ 30 $ new Type I binary self-dual codes with parameters $ [72,36,12]. $
