In this paper, we carried out the XRD results and 3D structural models of short-range order of amorphous cellulose obtained by ball milling of microcrystalline cellulose. The amorphous cellulose has the well-reproducible effect of influence of ozone treatment on its proton conductivity, which allows to use this material as a gas sensor. Calculation of the quantitative characteristics of the short-range order (radii of coordination spheres and their dispersions, coordination numbers) of amorphous cellulose was carried out from distribution pair functions curve by using the Finback-Warren method. The space atoms configurations was carried out by Debye method. After that, the models were distorted by converting into packages disoriented relative to each other layers. The X-Ray diffraction patterns were calculated for 3D models and compared with experimental curves.
