The present disclosure relates to functionalized silica particles, specifically, functionalized hydrophobic silica particles comprising a flame retardant and an antimicrobial agent, wherein the antimicrobial agent is the linker between the silica particle and the flame retardant agent. The present disclosure also relates to methods to obtain such functionalized hydrophobic silica particles, as well as the obtention of silica from natural sources through extraction processes. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use such functionalized hydrophobic silica particles, preferably in textiles, construction materials and interior of motor vehicle.
