The Daya Bay reactor antineutrino experiment has recently measured theneutrino mixing parameter sin22{\theta}13 by observing electron antineutrinodisappearance over kilometer-scale baselines using six antineutrino detectorsat near and far distances from reactor cores at the Daya Bay nuclear powercomplex. Liquid scintillator contained in transparent target vessels is used todetect electron antineutrinos via the inverse beta-decay reaction. The Daya Bayexperiment will operate for about five years yielding a precision measurementof sin22{\theta}13. We report on long-term studies of poly(methyl methacrylate)known as acrylic, which is the primary material used in the fabrication of thetarget vessels for the experiment's antineutrino detectors. In these studies,acrylic samples are subjected to gaseous and liquid environmental conditionssimilar to those experienced during construction, transport, and operation ofthe Daya Bay acrylic target vessels and detectors. Mechanical and opticalstability of the acrylic as well as its interaction with detector liquids isreported.
