There have been talks about use of fluorocarbon compounds as blood substitute for many years now. I don't know about their freezing point or mechanical properties in solid form. I would guess they shrink when frozen as most materials, so that a proper mixture with water would produce a zero expansion effect and no tensions or cracking. may be a subject to look at...? Y.
