Dear Benalia,
Firstly, I will say that many papers are concerning the production of nanocomposites using as matrix some recycled polymers. Concerning the recycling of polymer nanocomposites (PNC), I will assume that the number of scientific papers is not so high.
To begin, we must to consider that the temperature of processing/recycling and the type of polymer matrix (I don’t know your choice) are between the key factors that must be considered where is considered the recycling of PNC containing clays. However, the approach is very interesting. In some cases the dispersion of organo modified clays can be more or less improved. On the other hand, the traditionally organo-modifiers used for clays and based especially on quaternary ammonium salts (e.g. the case of well-known Cloisite products) can be degraded following the cycles of processing at high temperature, thus a decrease in properties of PNC can be claimed.
Please consider some papers that can help you as preliminary information:

Good luck in the recycling of PNC,
Marius
