The crystal morphology of hydroxyapatite [HAp] phase in gelatin [GEL] matrices was investigated with the condition of a GEL precursor treatment in an aqueous solution of $H_{3}PO_{4}$ at $37-80^{\circ}C$. Needle-shaped nanocomposite particles were prepared through a dynamic reaction during a coprecipitation process using a phosphoric GEL solution. Various types of mineralized morphology appeared with a phosphorylated condition of the GEL solution. HAp/GEL nanocomposite slurries showed the existence of an octacalcium phosphate [OCP] phase during the process.
