The wrinkling transition experimentally identified by Mutz et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 923 (1991)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.67.923] and then thoroughly studied by Chaieb et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 078101 (2006)]PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.96.078101 in partially polymerized lipid membranes is reconsidered. One shows that the features associated with this transition, notably the various scaling behaviors of the height-height correlation functions that have been observed, are qualitatively and quantitatively well described by a recent nonperturbative renormalization group approach to quenched disordered membranes by Coquand et al. [Phys. Rev E 97, 030102(R) (2018)]2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.97.030102. As these behaviors are associated with fixed points of renormalization group transformations they are universal and should also be observed in, e.g., defective graphene and graphene-like materials.
