Polymeric core‐sheath nanofibers consisting of polymeric sheath and arrays of colloids in the core are produced by one‐step single‐nozzle electrospinning. Loading different species of active agents in each colloid provides control over the release of each of the agents independently, which enables a programmed release pattern for multiple agents.
