Multi-component ionomer

A multi-component ionomer,

• wherein, in a multi-component copolymer (D) comprising, as essential constitutional units, a structural unit (A) derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene and an α-olefin containing 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a structural unit (B) derived from a monomer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxy group and a dicarboxylic anhydride group, and a structural unit (C) derived from an acyclic monomer represented by the following general formula (1), at least a part of at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxy group and a dicarboxylic anhydride group of the structural unit (B) is converted into a metal-containing carboxylate containing at least one metal ion selected from the group consisting of Groups 1, 2 and 12 of the periodic table, and
• wherein a phase angle δ at which an absolute value G* of a complex modulus measured with a rotational rheometer is 0.1 MPa (G*=0.1 MPa) is from 50 degrees to 75 degrees:
