In this manner, possibility of developing passivesmart cellulosic knitted fabrics based on temperature-water sensitive finishingtreatment for dynamic breathability and absorption functions by keepingacceptable fabric hand, was investigated. According to dynamic air permeabilityand water absorption capacity results, temperature-water sensitivenanocomposite treated cellulosic fabrics, especially viscose and modal ones gainedpassive smart function by keeping acceptable fabric hand. Also, SEM and FT-IRanalyses proved the polymer coating on fiber and fabric-nanocompositeinteractions, in turn. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
