perhaps Google would be a better person to ask.... ?
Hint: there are two modes: one is chemical and the other is mechanical.

But van der Waals forces can be described in a physical picture.
Chemistry is just the physics of the valence electrons. 😀

Well, yes. Chemistry is just a branch of physics, philosophically speaking. And Van Der Waals forces are important in physical chemistry, so it all works out 😉
Don't say that when a real chemist is listening. Or be prepared to find a taster for your food and drinks... 😉
Glue can work in many different ways. Basically the glue has to form some sort of interaction with the two surfaces that are being joined. The interaction can be a covalent bond, or be an intermolecular force of some sort (hydrogen bonding, permanent dipole or van der Waals forces).
There is no division between biology/chemistry/physics. It's an artificial construct designed purely for the convenience of teaching in schools and universities. Once you actually do Science there are no boundaries...no hierarchy...except Chemistry is obviously the best!

Yes,
It sticks the cap to the tube with a bond so strong you could lift the titanic with the same force required to release it..😀
