The global textile industry is transitioning towards more sustainable use of raw materials. In this context, man-made cellulosic fibers are expected to grow remarkably to fill the gap in the textile fiber market. However, due to its high-water absorption, cellulose has limited application potential and cannot compete with oil-based synthetic fibers in outdoor and active textiles. To fit these applications better, cellulose-based fabrics require enhanced moisture management, U
